Biography
I am the head of iVoices Media Lab and an Assistant Professor in the University of Arizona iSchool, at the intersection of people, information, and technologies. My work is focused on engagement for students and communities in the past, present, and future mediated through digital technology and media production. As an educator I specialize in social media, online collaboration and qualitative research methodologies. I deliver content to large audiences using performance techniques along with media technologies including collective blogs, video lectures, educational social media apps, audio work, and Open Educational Resources (OER) including the open textbook Humans Are Social Media. In my scholarship and teaching I draw from and build on an interdisciplinary fund of knowledge including archival studies, digital culture, performance studies, and digital humanities. My dissertation work deployed qualitative inquiry and critical engagement in person and online to interrogate a parade in honor of the dead as a performative frame for community identity.
