Although I have spent my career in industry, I have continued to read, research, and publish as an academic. Here you can learn more about my research and how I bring academic learnings to bear on my daily work.
Workplaces
I am an anthropologist who studies workplaces and how people work (the Anthropology of Work), and the role of technology (Science and Technology Studies) in that context. I am interested in how institutions respond to macro-economic, industry, and regional trends, and how the organizational response to those changes affects the lives of employees.
Collaboration
In my career I have consistently found myself engaging with individuals and teams who have deep expertise in domains unfamiliar to me (such as computer science, and more recently data science). As a result, I am also curious about and committed to making interdisciplinary teams work.
Art & Culture
For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in how artists express themselves in relation (or response) to their socio-cultural context. This is not art history; it is an interest in how creative expression changes in response to the conditions in which artists find themselves.
