Mellon Ph.D. Fellow, Simon Fraser University, Toronto Metropolitan University

I'm a Mellon Foundation Fellow at the Digital Democracies Lab at the University of Simon Fraser on a SSHRC Joseph Bombardier Scholarship. I study the cultural politics of optimization and smartness, along with their relationship to contemporary fascism. I did my master’s studies at Toronto Metropolitan and York University’s Joint Program in Communication & Culture. I’m the co-founder of the Digital Citizenship Cultures Initiative with Ryerson University's Infoscape Lab, and I’m also a researcher at the Open Intelligence Lab at the University of Amsterdam.
