Projects
My work begins with questions about how digital systems shape what we can know and do. Writing, interactive tools and teaching let me approach those questions from different directions.
Search, culture and commercial power
My book and articles examine search as a cultural and editorial system. Investigating Search carries those questions into an Interface prototype, topic notes and a source collection.
Research people can explore
The Investigating Search Interface is a private working prototype that offers reflective prompts beside selected searches. In Perspective is an available viewer and bibliography for selected critical and social research on search engines.
Games, identity and play
I teach and research games and interactivity, with a special interest in solo TTRPGs, queer and trans* gaming, and non-traditional forms. The Solo RPG Influence Map offers one route through games and their documented connections.
Collective work
I co-founded SEASON, an international network for research on search engines and society, and co-authored the #FreeWebSearch Charter through the Open Search Foundation.
