Research

Drawing from a background in sociology and anthropology, I am interested in connections between technological, spatial and cultural practices. My current research explores how actor-network theory and critiques of everyday life can help people understand and shape emergent technologies.

Otherwise & Elsewhere

I keep track of things I find interesting and fun on a tumblelog, and I sometimes listen to music at last.fm. I love graphic novels, I prefer my beer pale or bitter, and I believe that the best superhero power is shape-shifting.
