Forthcoming projects & research interests include
UK pirate radio, based on a paper I've been working on - “Exilic airwaves: UK pirate radio and the tower block” last presented at the Symposium: What is the Place of Intellectual Property? Symposium, McGill University, Montreal, CA, June 26. In this, I look at the role of failed government infrastructure projects in creating spaces (accidentally) for autonomous cultural practices.
Ethnic radio in New York City, especially its persistence in pirate and terrestrial formats, linked to an investigation of how different immigrant communities manage visibility and invisibility on various media platforms.
A project on community-generated privacy norms, addressing the failure of dominant models of "privacy" and "security" that assume the experiences and risk factors of able bodied, white male cisgender heterosexual citizens as a starting point. I am working to develop a toolkit for how specific communities (and the organizations that serve them) manage the specific harms facing them.
