I study the relationship between the social world and technology, complicating how we think about digital contexts and artificial intelligence. I collaborate with digital communities to better understand the harms they face and develop pathways and architectures for healthy relationships between people within and across sociopolitical fractures. My research is interdisciplinary, contributing to scholarship in digital studies, developmental psychology, social work, computational social science, communication, and other areas of study. 

I aim to create connective tissue between research (conceptual, theoretical, and empirical) and spaces of practice and everyday life. I am currently a Joint Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Information and the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan, and Part-Time Faculty at Boston College. I also co-organize the Critical Race and Intersectional Technology (CRIT) Collective with Kishonna L. Gray—an intergenerational, creative, and intellectual community of care.

I currently live in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I serve as a Resident Tutor in Adams House at Harvard with my wife, Kemeyawi, and our Italian Greyhound, Karl Marx. I am also an amateur sneakerhead who loves reading, coffee (faro café), spicy food and hot sauce, long walks (usually with Karl), and laughing at home with the family.
