I am an assistant professor of Emerging Media and Communication at UT Dallas. My research and teaching focus on the interplay of power structures and identity in digital culture, with particular emphasis on the role of gender and intersectional feminism in networked environments. My book Viral Structures in Literature and Digital Media: Networked Counterpublics and Participatory Capitalism is forthcoming from Routledge’s new Research in Digital Humanities series. A second book, Fashioning Makers and Counterpublics: Critical Making and Public Humanities, is under contract with the University of Iowa Press. In addition to being a writer of scholarly research, I blend theory and praxis as a producer of theoretically informed media objects and as the founder and director of Fashioning Circuits, a public Humanities project. I teach classes on digital media theory, race/class/gender/sexuality in networked environments, viral media, and wearable media.
