ethnography 〰️ data rights 〰️ public engagement 〰️

My research interests centre on digital society and policy, in particular around public engagement in data rights. I am a trained ethnographer, and hold a distinction in an MSc Digital Anthropology from University College London. My dissertation research from this programme centred on a pilot community data trust in a fishing town in Devon, supported by a UCL Anthropology Research Award.

Running a workshop on how to interpret hyper-local ONS data with the Prospect Brixham team in London Data Week 2024

I have continued to work with Prospect Brixham CIC, the organisation behind the project, including running workshops in London Data Week, presenting at data roundtables with the Data Trusts Initiative, and participating in the Liverpool Civic Data Cooperative’s Community of Practice.

I hold 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’m interested in the evolving digital aesthetics of witchcraft, particularly on TikTok, and medieval memes.
