______________________________________________________

Thanks for thinking I'm interesting enough to check up on. If you've come this far, I dare you to say hello before you leave.

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and a Faculty Associate of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

At Michigan I am appointed at the Department of Communication Studies (College of Literature, Science, & the Arts) and the School of Information. I am also a member of the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research. During 2014-15 I am Steelcase Research Professor at the Institute for the Humanities.

My research investigates communication and information technology infrastructure and public policy -- especially the way that legal, social, and technical elements work together (or don't work together) to shape systems of communication like the Internet. Usually, I read. Sometimes, I write. Often, I drink coffee. I might be found in a cafe drinking coffee and reading, or at home drinking coffee and writing. Or just drinking coffee.
