Research and Scholarship Interests
I am an interdisciplinary scholar whose work centers on media and the environment, science and technology studies, and data and visual culture. My current research examines historical and contemporary media, technology, and cultural projects that shape how environmental hazards and concepts like risk and time are perceived, engaged, and made actionable by wider publics. I explore how these efforts impact what is deemed possible and how they have been and might be refigured. My work has involved various critical and creative projects that address media approaches and impacts in times of crisis as well as representation in and alternative methods for data visualization. My research often draws from history as a way to situate and complicate the present and imagined futures.
I was recently a short-term Dibner Research Fellow in the History of Science & Technology at The Huntington Library. I was previously a research fellow at the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology. Before coming to UW Bothell, I was an Advisor for the MA Program in Digital Humanities at The Graduate Center CUNY, where I also taught in the MS Program in Data Analysis and Visualization. I have also been a Visiting Assistant Professor in the MS Program in Data Analytics and Visualization at the Pratt Institute School of Information.
