I’m so, so excited to announce that, as of the start of this calendar year, I’m in a new position. I’m now an assistant professor in the UC Irvine’s Department of Film and Media Studies, which is part of the School of Humanities. I’m extremely grateful for all of the colleagues and administrators who help with my transfer from the Department of Informatics, where I’ve been working for the past few years, to my new department. I couldn’t be happier to be returning to the humanities.
Another piece of related good news: I’ll be keeping an association with Informatics as an affiliate faculty member, which means I can keep advising and mentoring the amazing Informatics PhD students, including those in the CATS (Critical Approaches to Technology and the Social) research lab that my colleagues Aaron Trammell and I co-run. It’s the best of both worlds.
Thank you to everyone who offered their assistance and support as I’ve made the transition!
