Blogs
I write about academic knowledge production in my Medium blog. The writings draw from my experience as a career academic in a top MIS department, and from my earlier involvement in science and technology studies.
I also contribute to the Data Studies Bibliography blog thoughts about data.
Previously, I have written a few pieces for The Conversation about more generic topics. An archive of six blog posts published as an experiment on this website can be found here.
