Research

CV [January 2023]

My research is concerned with relationships between individuals and institutions in society. To that extent, my approach is predominantly that of a scholar of media, information, and technology, with a view toward influencing law and policy, integrating social science theories into the resolution of legal or policy related issues.

Current research examines the disposition of information in emerging technology, like artificial intelligence, and the systems that undergird them. I am particularly interested in investigating the ramifications of the collection, aggregation, and use of data and the implications for marginalized communities. Recent scholarship is focused on trust, representation, surveillance, and remedies.
