She engages and innovates interdisciplinary and international research approaches to offer fresh perspectives and realistic future visions and foresight about the role of human futures in shaping the better design, use of new, emerging and possible technologies. She has a joint appointment across the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture and the Faculty of Information Technology.
Sarah is an award-winning design and futures anthropologist and documentary filmmaker, whose work is influential internationally both inside and beyond academia. In 2023 Sarah was awarded a prestigious five-year Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship, two Honorary Doctorates from Malmo and Halmstad Universities in Sweden, three Australia Good Design Awards, and the Simon Professorial Fellowship at Manchester University, UK.
She has published numerous academic books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and book chapters, and directed several documentaries. Sarah is known for her career-long focus on innovating new research and dissemination methodologies, and engaging design futures, digital, visual, and sensory methods in interdisciplinary projects to engage with contemporary issues and challenges.
