About

 I’m the Manager of the ThinkLab Program at the University of Cambridge, which is part of the Strategic Partnership Office at the University of Cambridge. 

I research reading in print, reading on screens, and how this influences engagement with books that we read. My other research interests are focused on digital wellbeing, social media, and the role of digital technology in our everyday lives. 

Prior to Cambridge, I worked at Google in Mountain View, CA as part of Authors@Google, one of the world’s best online lecture series. I’ve worked as a director of digital textbooks in the field of nonprofit education, and most recently worked in online education at Stanford University.

I received my Master’s Degree from the University of Oxford, where my research included literary copyright, digital technology, and books as physical/digital objects. 

At the University of California, Berkeley I created and taught a course on The Simpsons and Philosophy. I’ve also been a contributor to the Blackwell Popular Culture and Philosophy book series, including Heroes and Philosophy, Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy, Arrested Development and Philosophy, 30 Rock and Philosophy, Inception and Philosophy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Philosophy — and the recently published Lego and Philosophy.
