How the digital world is affecting society and individuals, and concerns around tech usage, with Professor Andy Przybylski (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford) and Dr Sakshi Ghai (London School of Economics).
In the inaugural episode of the OII Podcast, our experts discuss topics such as:

- The evidence behind how our wellbeing has been influenced by digital technologies
- The need to adopt a non-Western centric approach to research that incorporates the contextual nuances of those living in places like the Global South
- Whether the rise in digital technologies can help to break down some of the inequalities between the West and the global South

Andrew K. Przybylski is the Professor of Human Behaviour and Technology at the University of Oxford. Professor Przybylski investigates how online social media and video games platforms shape human motivation and influence the health and well-being of their users.

Sakshi Ghai is an Assistant Professor of Psychological and Behavioural Science at The London School of Economics and Political Science. Her work encompasses two complementary strands of research: applied research into the effects of digital technologies on young people’s well-being, and meta-scientific research into the diversity of behavioural science.

Roz Pacey is the former Media and Communications Manager for the Oxford Internet Institute.

The OII podcast looks at issues and developments in the digital world that matter to us all, and explores them through thought-provoking conversations with experts and practitioners.
