I’m an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Information, where I run the Anthropology and Technology Lab (ATL).

As a sociotechnical anthropologist, I use in-person and digital ethnographic methods to explore how communities at the margins collaboratively design and engage with information communication technologies (ICTs) for survival, resistance, and social change.

I am specifically interested in the strategies people develop as they rely on social relationships to confront issues of power, resistance, and agency, informed by the fields of anthropology, CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work), ICTD (information and communication technologies and development), and feminist STS (science and technology studies).
