Research Experience
Approaches to these questions are interpretive and critical in general — sometimes ethnomethodological, sometimes comparative and theoretical. The approach structures how interviews, fieldwork, and document analysis are conducted.
Education
A third-year PhD student in Information Science and Technology at Syracuse University, working with Dr. EunJeong Cheon.
Background
Research areas are Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Draws on insights from sociology, anthropology, geography, and informatics to ask questions about the political economy of digital technologies in global contexts. Studies the process of producing and consuming technical systems, focusing on three mechanisms: (1) how technologies function in capitalist labor processes of production; (2) how technologies are produced and constructed as values for societal good; (3) how technical development and consumption rely on social reproduction and inequalities.
