Writing

I write freelance and research pieces on sociotechnical issues in data and the intersections and borders between technology and social power structures. My work emphasizes themes of data structures, gaps in technical standards, Indigeneity, decolonization, the psychological skill radical acceptance, climate change, and human rights.

My works includes Archives, Decolonization, and the Politics of Tribal Sovereignty, a introspective look at the accessibility barriers to federal recognition research (American Archivist, 2023), and Open Access Mandates and Indigenous Materials, a practitioners guide to open access issues with Indigenous collections (Museum Computer Network, 2021). I co-edit the Black cultural heritage zine Black Canvases (ISSN: 3066-8484).

My recent works have appeared in DAM News, Bloomsbury's History of Emotions Series Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, First Monday, Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, and Journal of Digital Asset Management. My stories and prose as part of interactive designs have appeared in Toronto Metropolitan University's Interactive Film and Media Conference and as indie video games on the world's largest indie game platform, itch.io. I write DecolFutures on Beehiiv.

I've taught data workshops and given lectures at Queen's University Belfast's Centre for Public History, Pratt Institute School of Information, American Library Association, The UK National Archives, and elsewhere.
