I am a social anthropologist, but my work crosses boundaries between academic disciplines.
I am a social anthropologist specialising in gender theory, science and technology studies, and digital anthropology. I have conducted research in the United Kingdom, North America and Europe.
I am currently working on two projects - an ethnography of everyday biotechnological experimentation, and a global anthropology of bioinformation.
Data Worlds and Futures: Archives, Bio information and Evidence (Wellcome Trust funded)
Communicating Chronic Pain - Interdisciplinary methods for non-verbal data (NCRM funded)
MEDEA - Models and their effects on development paths: an ethnographic and comparative approach (EU FP7)
I co-edit the book series Theorizing Ethnography: Concept, Context, Critique, published with Routledge Anthropology.

I joined Goldsmiths as a lecturer in September 2017, having completed a PhD in the department of anthropology in 2010. In the meantime, I was a post-doc researcher in the FP7 funded project MEDEA - Models and their effects on development paths: an ethnographic and comparative approach. I also held an LSE Fellowship (2012-2014) and a Course Tutor position (2014-2016) at the London School of Economics. Before joining the department, I worked as a Lecturer in the University of Sheffield’s Faculty of Social Sciences.
