Focus Areas
We produce empirical research to shape the development and governance of trustworthy infrastructures that center the experience, power, and knowledge of impacted people and communities.
Place-Based Practices
We explore how the arrival of physical infrastructure creates new sociopolitical, economic, and climate conditions in particular sites and regions, and how communities contend with these changes.
Infrastructures of Care
We investigate how people at the nexus of multiple overlapping social vulnerabilities experience, resist, and respond to technology through networks of care.
Knowledge, Embodiment, And Power
We research how community knowledge reasserts itself in the face of broad top-down technological change, and how individuals build alternative models of engagement that centers their own power.
