Recent research projects include the expansion of Chinese search engines into South East Asia, online Chinese state disinformation practices in Australia, and the relationship between Western intelligence agencies and social media giants.
Prior to joining the ANU in 2019, Sarah was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales.
