Biography

I am a Lecturer and Post-Doc Researcher at University of Vienna. I am interested in global education policy related to privatization and assessment (specifically admission testing, international large-scale assessments, and assessment cultures); educational transfer (north-south and south-south) focusing on the role of international organizations, agencies, companies, intellectual networks, policy makers and social movements. I am currently using concepts from STS to examine the configuration of global admission testing technologies and regional assessment infrastructures. I also examine the use of digital media by social movements struggling against neoliberal policies. I have a growing interest iin the usage of digital platforms Latin America and in the connexion between memory, art, digital tools, and dictatotorship/genocide experiences.
