Research interests
My research examines the social implications of media technologies, with a focus on cross-disciplinary methods and perspectives beyond the Western canon. I am particularly interested in the socio-historical dimensions of automation, a theme I pursue as part of my work at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society.
My current work centres on three areas:
- the digitality of knowledge-making and its implications for the information environment
- the conditions of possibility of contemporary technological cultures, and
- automated informality and its moral economies.
If you’re working on or interested in any of these areas, I’d be happy to connect.
I am currently accepting Masters and PhD students whose research is within the areas of digital economies, automated media, AI, and platform governance—especially those using innovative digital methods.
