Writing

My expertise lies at the intersections of technology, policy and society.

I employ a socio-technical framework to understand the impacts that various technologies have on individuals and communities.

And to address the harms that arise from their rapid and widespread deployment, I identify the necessary legislative and regulatory interventions.

Thus leading me to communicate my research to academics, policymakers, and the general public.

Please find below a selection of my most recent publications directed to academia, policymakers, and the general public.
