Description

Sara Grimes is a full professor in Communication Studies at McGill University, where she holds the Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy and directs the Kids Play Tech Lab. For over two decades she has tracked how digital games and social media platforms collect data from young users, and how policy and design decisions quietly shape what rights children get to exercise. She’s the author of Digital Playgrounds (University of Toronto Press, 2021) and co-author of the CIFAR policy brief Responsible AI and Children. She regularly works with policymakers in Canada and internationally on children’s privacy.
