Profile
My research focuses on exploring “artificial intelligence” as a knowledge project (particularly where AI research emerges from the intersection of technical work and the cognitive and neuro-sciences) using mixed social-scientific and science-historical approaches. I’m also really interested in theological approaches to AI and productively confronting feminist theory to different levels of the AI stack.
Alongside the DPhil, I also work as a Research Assistant on the Creative Algorithmic Intelligence project (a collaboration between the OII and the Machine Learning Research Group), and am an associate member of the Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology.
I have an MSt in Women’s Studies (Oxon) and a BSc in Sociology (LSE).
I’m always interested in exchanging with others working on directly, tangentially, or methodologically related questions––so do drop me a line!
