My research is at the intersection of critical human geography and geographic information science, what is called ‘critical GIS’.  I draw upon science and technology studies to understand the development and proliferation of location-based services and the rapid evolution of Internet-based geographic information, more generally.  I read across interdisciplinary fields including feminist critiques of science, the digital humanities, technocultural and software studies, and posthumanism, with particular interest in the implications (human and more-than-human) of digital information technologies.  I have an interest in continuing to develop participatory and collaborative applications of GIS in the classroom, and hope to learn about opportunities to build classroom-based partnerships with community organizations serving Lexington.  I received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2009.
