I’m a Ph.D. Candidate in Geography at University of Washington. Drawing from interviews and archival data, my dissertation project evaluates how trans people have enacted care practices in digital spaces throughout the history of the Internet and how such digital care practices might provide potential to build critical trans politics. This work is supervised by Dr. Larry Knopp and funded in part by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. I’m proud to be a Junior Fellow with the Center for Applied Transgender Research.
