My research is concerned with the interactions of people, 'technology', and the environment and combines insights from science and technology studies, sociology, communication studies, and information studies. Most of my recent research has focused on the implications of digitisation (AI, ML, big data, algorithmic decision making, etc) on environmental governance processes.
