Dr. Matwick is a Senior Lecturer in the Language and Communication Centre (LCC), School of Humanities (SoH). She joined NTU in 2018 and teaches CC0001: Inquiry and Communication in an Interdisciplinary World; HW0208: Academic Communications in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and HWG0704: Research Communication for Graduate Students. Keri is a Coordinator for CC0001, a university core course that consists of over 60 tutors and 5,500 students.

Her research uses multimodal discourse analysis to examine the construction of identity in food media, such as cooking shows, cookbooks, traditional media (news), and social media (Instagram).

With her twin sister Kelsi, Keri wrote a book on 'food discourse,’ the written, spoken, and visual text about food, including its preparation, preparation, and consumption, and how it expresses individual and collective sociocultural values about food. Focusing on cooking shows, Kelsi and Keri examined how storytelling, humor, and evaluations are important narrative elements in instructing and entertaining viewers about food.

As the founder and Coordinator of NTU's School of Humanities Food Studies Research Cluster, Keri is active in hosting international, interdisciplinary online symposiums as well as arranging field site visits to food places, such as plant-based restaurants and hawker centres.
