Current Work
My current work looks at the role of emotions in shaping the fields of computing and design. Following scholars like Sara Ahmed, Michelle Murphy, Su et al., and Lin and Lindtner, I critically analyze the ways positive emotions limit and delimit possibilities for critical practice in computing [1,2,3,4].
