PhD projects

My broad area of expertise is Information Systems. I use critical and decolonial approaches to technology using fieldwork and ethnographic methods. I am open to PhD applications interested in critical and interpretive research in the context of digital technologies. Examples include ethical aspects of technology, body, marginalisation, decolonisation, and Indigenous scholarship.
