Overview
Background
My work explores the digital cultures that increasingly shape our lives, combining a deep understanding of technical logics (code, infrastructures, architectures) with a critical awareness of race and class, gender and labor, epistemologies and ecologies. This interweaving “offers new and critical insight” (Prof Starosielski, NYU) and makes me an “original voice” (Prof Pasquale, Cornell), leading to my current role as an ARC Future Fellow. I have developed an international profile through six monographs with leading presses such as Automation is a Myth (Stanford), Technical Territories (Michigan) and Red Pilled (Transcript) as well as 45 articles as lead or solo author, with 25 in high ranked (Q1 or Q2) journals. My work has shaped current debates, being cited by The Guardian, the Washington Post, and appearing in Scientific American. My teaching has been praised by scholars and students and draws directly on my cutting-edge research to diagnose contemporary conditions. I actively mentor the next generation of scholars through regular workshops, seminars, and collaboration on real-world projects.
