Balancing pragmatism and theory is a challenging task. As a researcher, I am dedicated to understanding and participating in the rapidly evolving modern media ecosystem. To stay engaged with my community, I write newsletters on Substack and create bite-sized conversation starters on Tik Tok.
In addition to these initiatives, I have also been involved in several podcast projects. My ongoing talk show, Get Wrecked, critically examines the intersection of recreation and the environment. I am also proud of my past work on the serialized project Yonder Lies, which explored the rich socio-environmental history of Jackson, Wyoming.
In the past, I've been the Executive Director of the Environmental Film Festival at Yale and an Editor at the Yale Environment Review. I've published pieces in Orion Magazine, Sage Magazine, Yale Daily News, and Contexts.
Through my diverse interests and commitment to thoughtful analysis, I strive to make important contributions to my field while remaining accessible to a broader audience.
I edited and produced the audiobook version of Plurality: The Future of Collaborative Technology and Democracy, out now!
"Plurality details how Digital Minister Audrey Tang and her collaborators – architects of Taiwan’s internationally acclaimed digital democracy – achieved inclusive, technology-fueled growth that harnesses digital tools to strengthen both social unity and diversity.
From intimate digitally empowered telepathy to global trade running on social networks rather than money, Plurality offers tools to radically enrich relationships while making sure we leave no one behind.
The ideas promise to transform every sector from health care to media, as illustrated by the way they have been written: as a chorus of open, self-governing collaborations of voices from around the globe."

Tik Tok might soon be banned, but until then, it remains an incredible resource for public education and scholarship!
I wrote, edited, and produced an award-winning podcast with Wyoming Public Humanities and KHOL 89.1:
"Few places have come to symbolize the rapidly-changing American West quite like the valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming—grizzlies still graze by the roadside, elk eat farm-raised grass, and, all the while, service workers, ranchers, ski bums, and billionaires also jostle to find their piece of paradise.
For millennia, the human and non-human residents of Jackson Hole have co-existed in a complex struggle for the good life. But what is the state of this balance these days? And how have these relationships been shaped by recent changes in resources, demographics, and priorities in our communities?
Yonder Lies, a podcast from KHOL 89.1 and Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative researchers, is your invitation to dive into the nitty-gritty of Jackson Hole. Hosted by writers and researchers Hannah Habermann and Jesse Bryant, Yonder Lies shares intimate stories of the people, conflicts, and institutions that have made this place what it is today."
This is a repository for audio versions of many of my academic publications and essays.
