RMIT University
| Connor Conkey-Morrison is a PhD candidate at RMIT University and a provisional psychologist working in primary schools. Their doctoral research examines emotionally based school avoidance, drawing on population-level longitudinal data, education systems indicators, and online discourse to understand why young people disengage from school and what supports help them return. They’re particularly interested in where AI can support young people and the professionals working with them, but equally wary of where it can’t: opaque data practices that entrench bias, and convenience that erodes the friction needed to build critical thinking. Connor hopes to build a career at the intersection of psychology, technology, and education. |
