Fae's research focuses on the impact of digital media use on everyday life. Her (2021) examined mothers’ interactions with digital media as users and facilitators of children’s use, utilising theories of mediatisation, domestication of technology and parental mediation to identify changes in the communicative practices of contemporary mothers. The study revealed that children's increasing use of digital media for schooling, entertainment and social interaction, coupled with societal expectations about a mother's role, adds an additional layer of responsibility on mothers to provide unpaid digital care to children ().
