My research interests include mediatized communication, especially involving identity, ethics, behaviour modification/awareness/enlightenment, and social justice; performance studies and performative (auto-)ethnography; social networks, and communication from the margins, including queer theory.

I'm an MA in ComCult and hope to conclude the program with an MRP or Thesis focusing on mediated communication in massively multiplayer online gaming systems/communities with a view to improving design (awareness) and affecting change in member behaviour.
