About

I am a philosopher of engineering and technology based in the United States. I ask questions about the relationship between dominant ways of thinking within and cultural narratives about engineering practice in the U.S. I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Science, Technology, & Society and a participant in the Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies certificate program at Virginia Tech.

Currently I am writing my dissertation which focuses on the ethics of engineering knowledge production. It is a critical review of various approaches to social change in engineering in the U.S. undertaken throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. In my conclusion I argue for a theoretical reorientation of our approaches to social change that reincorporates philosophical inquiry.

I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Science & Technology Studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and my M.S. in Science & Technology Studies from Virginia Tech.
