ABOUT ME
I am an Assistant Professor in the Science in Society Program at Wesleyan University with affiliations in Anthropology and Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies.
I am currently working on my book project, Facing the Child (MIT Press), an ethnography of artifice, evidence, and the global policing of child pornography. My second project is a multidisciplinary study of robotic and animate companions in eldercare, childcare, and other spaces of intimate companionship. My research and teaching interests include digital policing, computer vision, content moderation of child sexual abuse material, digital STS, queer studies of the child, robotics, avatars, and digital companions.
From 2016-2018 I was a Fellow with the Sexualities Project at Northwestern. In 2016 I completed my PhD from MIT's Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, & Society (HASTS). I hold a B.A. in Anthropology and Feminist Studies from Stanford University.
