I'm a doctoral candidate and Annenberg Fellow in communication at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.
My research is concerned with technology, memory, and archives, and asks questions about how our conceptions of the past are shaped by technological change. I take a time-sensitive perspective when thinking about digital technologies, investigating their afterlives, prehistories, and unexpected modes of erasure and persistence.
My dissertation project–‘Sunsetting: Platform closure and the making of digital memory infrastructure’–examines the process of social media shutdown and commercial digital loss in order to ask about the future of cultural memory.
