Professor Emma Bond is Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange and Professor of Socio-Technical Research at the Âé¶¹´«Ã½. As a key member of the University's Executive Team, she drives the research and knowledge exchange agenda across the institution, holding overall responsibility for the Research and Knowledge Exchange Directorate and the University's research and knowledge exchange strategy. Emma leads the University's preparation for REF 2029 and its Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAP) submission alongside institutional compliance with the Knowledge Exchange Framework, the HR Excellence in Research Award, Athena Swan, and the NCCPE Public Engagement Watermark.

Emma has strategic oversight of the University's five research institutes and centres, working closely with Directors of Research Institutes, the Professoriate and Executive Deans of School to embed a rich research culture across the institution — one that generates high-quality outputs and intellectual capital, and positions the University as a leading provider of research-informed education, knowledge exchange, research and impact. 

A Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Emma has over 25 years' teaching experience across social science undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including doctoral supervision. Her research addresses online risk and vulnerable groups, image-based abuse, online harassment, domestic abuse and sexual abuse — work that has shaped international policy and understanding of online safety.

Emma has over 25 years' teaching experience across undergraduate and postgraduate social science courses, and 15 years' PhD supervisory and external examiner experience. She has extensive module and course leadership experience at undergraduate, Master's and doctoral level.

Before moving solely to a research based career, Emma designed and led three new courses at the University: the BA (Hons) Children, Young People and Policy (the University's first online degree, 2010); the MA Childhood and Youth Studies (the University's first blended learning course, 2010), recognised as a case study in innovative practice by the Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee and by Professor Sally Brown's Assimilate project; and the MSc Crime and Community Safety: Evidence Based Practice (2016), developed in collaboration with Suffolk's then Chief Constable as an example of university–public sector knowledge exchange.

She led successful PGR programme validations with the University of Brighton (2020) and the University of Essex (2024). In 2019 she authored the International Online Safety module for Epigeum/Sage Publishing's Staying Safe course, later revising it as the Cultivating Digital Wellbeing module (2024) and co authored the UKRIO The ethics of research involving human participants (2025). 

Emma has held seven external examining appointments and has extensive experience in student recruitment and retention strategy, and in academic quality assurance across course validation, evaluation and moderation and she is recognised research supervisor with the UKCGE. 

She is a visiting Professor at the University of Bournemouth. 

She is currently supervising two PhD students.

Emma's research explores the everyday interactions between people, society and technology, with a particular focus on developing innovative and accessible methodologies that foster meaningful participation with marginalised groups. She is internationally renowned for her work on online and social media environments, sexting, revenge pornography and online safeguarding, and is a frequent advisor of policy and a keynote speaker at international forums.

Emma holds long-standing research partnerships with the Marie Collins Foundation, supporting children and families in recovering from online sexual abuse, and with the UK Safer Internet Centre. She has worked with the  Home Office evaluating educational resources addressing online vulnerability — including for SEND pupils, looked-after children and LGBTQI+ young people — and evaluating ProjectEVOLVE's 330 statements against the UK Council for Internet Safety's Education for a Connected World framework.

Her more recent work includes an extensive body of research on safeguarding adults online and on online harassment in UK universities, including the  for the Office for Students, which informed the Higher Education Online Safeguarding Self-Review Tool and Universities UK's Tackling Online Harassment and Promoting Online Welfare report, as well as . Other notable studies include ; the online vulnerability of primary-school-aged children; a five-country investigation into awareness of child helplines; and evaluations of the Revenge Porn Helpline and the Marie Collins Foundation's Click: Path to Protection training. She has also led a major review of domestic violence and abuse across five UK police forces for the Better Policing Collaborative and College of Policing, examining police knowledge of revenge pornography legislation and the role of everyday technologies in domestic abuse.

Emma's research on virtual environments, mobile technologies and risk has attracted significant international and national acclaim, including media appearances on BBC Breakfast, ITV, Radio 4's Today Programme and Woman's Hour, and Channel 4's Sex Education Show, as well as national broadcasters across the UK, US and Canada.
