Areas of Interest

Science and Technology Studies, Social Epistemology, Science Communication, Philosophy of Education, Critical Pedagogies, Media Arts, Qualitative Research Methods.

I am an interdisciplinary scholar interested in thinking about social and environmental change that occurs when we consider different questions and approaches to study. Below are two current research areas that my work is focused on:

1. STEMtelling and the Narrative Construction of Science and Technology

I study how science, technology and engineering knowledge is constucted through stories. I am the creator of STEMtelling –— a pedagogical storytelling method used to build social epistemology in collaborative learning and research spaces. Thus far, STEMtelling has been applied in undergraduate machine learning course to consider ethical implications of artificial intelligence, courses in environmental science, philosophy of science, as well as in high school STEM courses.

2. Public Pedagogies of Technoscience

Public pedagogies of technoscience refer to the processes, forms, and arenas that occur outside of formal institutions. I explore how knowledge is made, unmade, and reproduced outside of institutional contexts to understand how different publics engage with scientific and technological development, decision making, and policies. Themes of security, labor, expertise, accessibility, and power are explored through developing projects in this area.
