I'm a writer and researcher who explores how emerging technologies can be developed in the public interest. 

This work crosses...
disciplines (geography, design, sociology, environmental science, future studies),
methods (interviews, focus groups, surveys, scenarios), and
audiences (publics, policymakers, scientists, artists).
