I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington Information School, interested in issues related to digital information, digital culture, and information policy. In my dissertation research, I am working on a comparative analysis of large-scale information democratization efforts – specifically, large-scale digitization initiatives vs. early American public libraries – as sociotechnical systems.
If you want to know more about me professionally, here’s my CV (PDF here).
Outside of work, I am an avid consumer of pop culture, I love to cook, bake, and build things, and since I moved to Washington, I’ve gotten the hiking bug in a big way: in fact, in 2008, I climbed Mt. Rainier (though the photo below is on Mt. Adams).
