I am a social scientist and critical informatics scholar of digital culture, data politics and the Web. My research centres around the everyday power and politics embedded in the construction of the Web’s past. My research experience cross-cuts several domains and subject areas related to the ways in which digital culture, media and knowledge are constructed and represented online, as well as the broad implications these have for contemporary and future digital scholarship.

I have a PhD in Web Science from the Department of Sociology, Social Policy at the University of Southampton. I also have a MSc in Web Science and a MSc in Archaeological Computing from the University of Southampton and a BA in Anthropology from Centre College, Kentucky, USA.

I am currently a Senior Research Associate (ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow) in the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies at the University of Bristol, and a fellow at the Bristol Digital Futures Institute. I am also the Principal Investigator on the UK Economic and Social Research Council grant-funded project The Social Life of Web Archives looking at the broader impact of web archives online.
