PhD SupervisionI am available to supervise PhD students on media theoretical and ethnographic approaches to videogames, digital labour, and digital wellness. I currently supervise 3 PhD students.

AI (Mis)Alignments Film Screenings
Co-organised with Dr Daniel Rourke and Dr James Burton, this ongoing series of screenings offers Goldsmiths students alternative approaches to the so-called ‘alignment’ of AI and other technologies of automation. Taking the troubling principles of ‘AI Alignment’, ‘effective altruism’, and ‘longtermism’ as our starting points, this series of screenings and short readings is presented as a deranged ‘doomer’ détournement: treating fictions and figures as counterpoints to big tech’s utopian rhetoric and normative visions. Across a twice-monthly selection of screenings and accompanying readings, we will meet a series of compassionate AI assistants, rogue robots, and imperialist automatons – figures that unsettle the human values and objectives which companies such as OpenAI promise their revolutionary new suite of tools are being ‘aligned’ to. Sign up here for screening updates.
