My current research focuses on the intertwined histories of artificial intelligence, the behavioral sciences, and disability. 

My dissertation, Watching Feeling: Emotional Data from Cybernetics to Social Media, told the story of how emotion was made computable. It ranged from debates around cybernetic models of emotion at the Macy Conferences, through early applications of computing to psychiatric treatment at state hospitals, to the development of empathic AI at the MIT Media Lab.

My current book project expands on this research, unearthing a disability history of artificial intelligence that spans from the earliest conceptions of neural networks to contemporary AI psychodiagnostics.

With the DISCO Network, I am also a co-author of Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal, a critical roadmap of the current digital landscape by an intergenerational group of scholars that centers issues of race, gender, and disability.
