I am a writer and professor with a background in the social study of science and technology (STS) and Western philosophy. I’ve spent most of my career investigating technology and human life in publications, conference halls, and classrooms across the United States and Europe. My PhD is from Virginia Tech’s ASPECT Program, which supports interdisciplinary scholarship in the social sciences and humanities.
In 2025, I resigned from a tenure-track professorship. At the time, I’d been teaching college courses for eight years, balancing my duties as a professor and administrator with an active research agenda. My vision for higher ed didn’t match what I’d seen in practice, and I wanted to pursue alternatives that returned students and faculty to the center of the academic experience.
