Teaching

Drawing from my own research on digital inequalities, I believe that students need a comprehensive education in the many ways that technology shapes and informs their lives. I hope to prepare students to be more thoughtful technologists, able to understand, analyze, and critique the diverse interesections of technology, politics, and society in ways that will be useful beyond their time in the classroom. Whether I am teaching research methods, coding skills, or theory based seminars I strive to make real-world connections and have students apply the material to events and content relevant to their lives.

I’m happy to give guest lectures at the undergraduate or graduate level introducing computational methods or discussing my research on information environments.
