Profile

I am an anthropologist who investigates data-centric technologies and societies. I use ethnographic methods to explore how algorithmic technologies and AI systems change and are changed by social relations, especially in global South Asia. My body of research focuses on kinds of labor and capitalism inaugurated by these technologies and the ways that they may reproduce and reinforce as well as upend long-standing colonial relations. More recent work explores practices of trust, safety, and security online as a reaction to surveillant media regimes. My scholarship centers race and caste as analytics of power within technological domains.
