I am an Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies in the Department of English at Arizona State University. My research is informed by my dedication to environmental and social justice as well as a background in critical media studies. Specifically, my work is situated at the intersection of environmental media studies, science and technology studies, and the energy humanities. I am currently working on a book entitled Deepwater Alchemy: Extractive Mediation and the Taming of the Seafloor, which examines relationships between deep ocean media operations and extractive industries. I have also published work on medical media and internet freedom.
I received my PhD in Film and Media Studies from UC Santa Barbara and my BA in English from Princeton University. I am also a Senior Global Futures Scientist with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory and an affiliate of the Humanities for Environment North American Observatory.
