Faculty Member, Communication, Film and Media

About

I am a senior lecturer in Communication and Media Studies at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, where I am also Co-Director, with Dr Jussi Parikka, of ARCDigital (Anglia Research Centre in Digital Culturel). I have also taught at the University of Roskilde in Denmark, as part of the EU’s Erasmus Programme, and have acted as a post-graduate supervisor and examiner for the University of Cambridge.

My research interests are broadly located at the intersection of technology, new media in particular, with politics and critical theory. My focus has been on two particular questions, firstly, the role of technology in providing an arena for the expression of dissent and the organisation of resistance movements. Secondly the role of technology in more formal democratic procedures, specifically the role of the Internet in contributing towards the development of deliberative democracy. I have recently completed a book bringing these themes together to be titled '@ is for Activism: Dissent, Resistance and Rebellion in a Digital Culture' to be published by Pluto press and due for publication in November 2010.
