  • Governing AI-Driven Health Research: Are IRBs Up to the Task?, 2021, Ethics & Human Research
  • When public policy 'fails' and venture capital 'saves' education: Edtech investors as economic and political actors, 2023, Globalisation Societies and Education
  • PLATFORMIZING KNOWLEDGE: MESS AND MEANING IN WEB 3.0 INFRASTRUCTURES, 2020, AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Davies include:

  • Rebecca Eynon
  • Ben Williamson
  • Cory Salveson
  • Sheena Macrae
  • Phoebe Friesen

The main publication venues for Davies' work correspond with their interdisciplinary approach, including:

  • Sociology
  • Race & Class
  • Ethics & Human Research
  • Globalisation Societies and Education
  • AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research

Davies' topics of study primarily address issues within social and cultural dynamics, including the intersection of technology and society. This includes investigations into social media and political influence, the analytics of online learning environments, and the ethical dimensions surrounding clinical and biomedical research practices.

Research outputs show engagement with both theoretical and applied concerns, particularly in relation to emerging technologies such as AI in education and health research, as well as platformization in web infrastructures. Additionally, Davies' work reflects an interest in the social implications of contemporary policy debates and economic actors, such as venture capitalists involved in educational technology.
