BIOGRAPHY

I am a teaching professor at Lyman Briggs College, Michigan State University, where I am Founding Director of the Collaborative Experiential Learning Laboratory (CELL). I teach courses in philosophy of science, science and technology studies, and critical making. I also teach an education away course in coastal Maine. I research how technology affects what we know, especially online.

RESEARCH

I research how technology affects what we know. Initially, I focused on scientific instruments and computers in nuclear science. I am currently writing a book about knowledge on the Internet, in collaboration with Boaz Miller or Zefat Academic College, Israel. We examine technologies and practices from autocompleted search results and deepfakes to GPS wayfinding to social media sharing. I am also beginning to explore the infrastructure and methodologies of education, combining scholarly research into pedagogy and laboratories with the practice of critical making.
