ABOUT
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with affiliations in the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies and the International Cultural Studies Program. To date my research has centered on algorithmic interventions in geopolitics and novel forms of securitization emerging alongside the application and adaptation of information technologies in the Middle East. More broadly, I am interested in the relationship between media, technology and security, the politics of visuality and affect, and entanglements of popular culture and international politics. I received the 2016-2017 Fulbright Scholar Award in the Middle East and North Africa Regional Research Program, and am a visiting researcher at Abu Dhabi University and Qatar University in Spring/Summer 2017. My work appears in Security Dialogue, Globalizations, and the Journal of Critical Globalization Studies. I am also an Associate Editor for the journal International Political Sociology.
