I recently completed my MSc in Digital Anthropology at University College London, for which I was awarded a distinction. I have written on algorhythmic violence, technology’s role in both transcending and embedding colonial knowledge systems, NHS Digital data-sharing with the Home Office, what constitutes ethical data, and disobedient distributive design by the horse community on Facebook.
In 2022 I undertook a digital ethnography on cold water swimmers at Hampstead Ladies’ Pond, and was awarded an honarium to make work for an exhibition exploring power and representation with the Museum of Data and UCL’s Slade School of Fine Art. A team project into online trust-building between buyers and sellers presented to the Gumtree product team in 2023, and I have worked with UCL’s Multimedia Anthropology Laboratory on digital exploration and preservation of Guarani and Kaiowá cultural heritage in Brazil. For my dissertation I worked with a pilot community data trust to examine how data constitutes place in a fishing town in Devon, supported by a UCL Anthropology Research Award; I am currently exploring the next steps for this research.
I have an MA from the University of Oxford in Modern History, with a focus on visual culture. I completed my thesis on comparative representations of witchcraft in Early Modern media in England and Germany, alongside an extended essay on the impact of photography on 19th century French oil portraiture. I maintain a folder of medieval memes.
