Current Research Interests: I am currently a first-year master’s student in the OCT track. My research focuses on the intersection of organizational communication, science & technology studies (STS), and sociology of knowledge. Overall, I am interested in how people communicate and exchange their understanding of science and technology in practice, and how these processes might ultimately influence collective knowledge production and (re)shape various aspects of social organization(s), such as power dynamics. Methodologically, I am open to learning and using any approaches that I believe would work. To me, the questions always come first.
