About Me

I'm an interdisciplinary scholar whose research focuses on the commodification and rationalization of sensory experience—particularly color—under technocapitalism. Originally trained in modern languages (Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and French), I received my PhD in Film & Media from UC Berkeley and now work at the intersection of media theory and history, science and technology studies, critical race studies, and cultural studies.

​

Currently, I'm an Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University, where I teach in the Media Studies program and the interdisciplinary MA in the Humanities. Starting in Fall 2025, I will be an ACLS Fellow and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame.​
