I have interests in how digital media is made to work, or not at all stages of its life. I draw on science and technology studies to interrogate how digital media is constructed and adapted by a range of human and non-human actors. Work in this area includes:
My book-length study – Disconnecting with Social Networking Sites
A study of Ashley Madison bots as speculative devices
I have also written about SingStar, Habbo Hotel, Graffiti Artists on YouTube, and I’ve edited a collection of papers for Routledge in the area of Online Gaming.
