Cecily Klim (she/her) is a PhD candidate and casual academic at UNSW, Sydney. She is a scholarship recipient of the ARC Centre for Automated Decision-Making and Society.

Her doctoral research examines the digitisation and datafication of contraception; critically tracing the transformation of pregnancy prevention as it is uprooted from the medical and pharmaceutical sphere through the rise of ‘Femtech’. Cecily’s academic background has provided a springboard from which to explore her thesis through STS, digital health studies, feminist theory, and the sociology of health with an interdisciplinary and future-oriented logic. She is particularly interested in the politics of representation and, having worked through film, sound, storytelling, and arts workshops, she is dedicated to the use and development of creative and arts-based methods for social research and public engagement.
