I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at The Pennsylvania State University.
My research explores how data-centric technologies shape social, cultural, and political life, and vice versa. Much of my work focuses on how people learn about and make sense of these technologies, and how such insight may be mobilized in efforts to govern them. This involves interrogating epistemological assumptions about everyday understandings of algorithms and A.I. to explore knowledges beyond the rational and cognitive.
I am currently writing a book on critical algorithmic literacy as a tool of bottom up governance, under contract with Oxford University Press.
