About
Jackie Marsh is a leading scholar in the field of digital literacies and childhood, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how we understand young children’s engagement with technology. Her research focuses on the intersection of play, digital media, and early literacy, with a particular emphasis on how children navigate and create meaning through emerging technologies. One of her most significant contributions is the co-authored paper "Kaleidoscope on the Internet of Toys: Safety, security, privacy and societal insights" (2016, 34 citations), which critically examines the implications of Internet-connected toys—a growing subset of the Internet of Things—on children's safety, privacy, and social development. This work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, bridging education, media studies, and cybersecurity to highlight the ethical and practical challenges posed by these increasingly ubiquitous devices. Marsh’s broader impact is evident in her extensive body of work on digital play, which has informed policy and practice in early years education globally. Her research not only charts the evolving landscape of children’s digital lives but also advocates for a balanced perspective that recognizes both the opportunities and risks of technology in childhood.
