I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge (2005 – Present). I previously studied anthropology and philosophy at the University of Virginia (B.A. 2003).
My research investigates the cosmopolitics of being ‘human’ in the southern lowlands of New Guinea. I conducted 18 months of fieldwork (Sept 2006 - April 2008) with Boazi and Zimakani speakers living in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. I am also interested in the impact of digital technologies on knowledge practices and organization, including teaching and research.
