Interests


<aside> <img src="/icons/thought_blue.svg" alt="/icons/thought_blue.svg" width="40px" /> I work on the political and social aspects of epistemology - I’m interested in how oppression and power effect political deliberation in the online sphere.

In the past I focused on theoretical issues (exploring how to integrate feminist standpoint theory and hinge epistemology[1], whether these views should be understood as relativist [2,3], and what that means[4]).

My current work is on the practical applications of such views: what they tell us about social media legislation[5], platform design[6], and online communities[7].
