Dr. Middleton is a Professor at the Ted Rogers School of Information Technology Management. An expert on telecommunications policy in Canada, her research focuses on advancing digital inclusion to ensure equitable access to digital society and enable full participation in the digital economy. Her research examines the ways in which markets and regulation impact the rollout and use of fixed and wireless broadband networks in Canada and internationally, investigates the causes and impacts of digital exclusion, and identifies policies and actions to advance meaningful adoption of digital technologies and reduce digital divides.

Dr. Middleton’s research has been funded by SSHRC, Infrastructure Canada, Institute for a Broadband-Enabled Society, the Networks of Centres of Excellence, Statistics Canada and Ryerson University.

She was the Principal Investigator for the Community Wireless Infrastructure Research Project, the Co-Investigator on the Canadian Spectrum Policy Research Project and was a member of the Ageing + Communication + Technologies research team. With colleague Dr. Gregory Taylor she recently edited Frequencies: International Spectrum Policy (MQUP).
