teaching philosophy

I believe that universities should be spaces for cultivating care, curiosity and imagination.

My teaching nurtures critical and creative engagements with how digital data, media and infrastructures shape how we know and live together.

Together with colleagues at King’s Department of Digital Humanities and the Public Data Lab I am exploring how researchers, students and groups outside the university can work together on collaborative digital projects which take into account the various perspectives, needs and concerns of those involved.

You can read more about this in our article on “engaged research-led teaching: composing collective inquiry with digital methods and data”.

teaching materials

Some open access teaching materials co-developed with friends and colleagues at the Public Data Lab can be found here.

I’ve recently been working on a project on growing group care with Liliana Bounegru and Pippa Sterk - including this zine.

taught modules

Over the past decade, I’ve been involved in establishing, convening and/or teaching on the following ten modules at King’s College London:

• Digital Foundations (BA)
• Digital Methods I: Approaches (BA)
• Digital Methods II: Working with Data (BA)
• Digital Journalism (BA)
• Data Activism (MA)
• Data Journalism (MA)
• Data Visualisation (MA)
• Digital Methods for Internet Studies: Concepts, Devices and Data (MA)
• London as a Digital City (MA)
• Visual Methods (MA)

PhD supervision

I’m currently supervising and co-supervising PhD projects on:

• AI trouble
• open data portals in China
• social media practices in higher education
• data centres and the politics of heat
• social media bots

While I have limited capacity for supervising further PhD projects at the moment, inquires from prospective students are always welcome.

teaching experience

I’m a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. The panel highlighted “a reflective and inspiring application with much evidence of innovation, imagination and commitment”.

Before joining King’s College London, I’ve been involved in teaching and supervising students on controversy mapping courses set up by Bruno Latour at Sciences Po, Paris; on digital methods at the Digital Methods Initiative, University of Amsterdam; and on digital methods and the politics of data at the Institute for Policy Research, University of Bath.

external examining

I’m currently serving as External Examiner for the MA in Digital Media and Culture at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick, as well as for the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts, London.

I previously served as External Examiner for the MA Data, Culture and Society at University of Westminster and have contributed to accreditation and programme review panels, most recently for a BA programme at the University of Amsterdam.

I have also been invited to examine theses at the University of Oxford, University of York, Tilburg University, United Nations University, and other institutions.
