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, and I have continued to work with the organisation behind the project Prospect Brixham CIC as a Visiting Researcher. Most recently this has 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.

You can find out more about some of the other research I did at UCL below, including a project with the Slade School of Art exploring public and private land ownership through metadata, for the Gumtree product team on trust-building between buyers and sellers, and a sensory ethnography of the Hampstead Ladies' Pond.

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.
