Research Interests

My research focus intersects the following three areas:

  • International communication
  • Telecommunications, information, new information and communication technologies
  • Feminist political economy

Some research questions that I am currently interested in:

  • How finance, biology, and knowledge has become informationalized
  • How telecommunications and high-tech industries help build global cities
  • How to understand gendered and racialized images from a feminist political economic perspective
