Personal profile

Personal profile

My work explores how members of environmental social movements navigate their information security in politically sensitive contexts. Rather than prioritising technological solutions, I study the social first -- building our understanding of security *from the ground up*. One of the main ways I do this is by showing how (information) security is a function of cultural, political and social conditions. I am doing this in two countries - the Philippines and the UK. My ultimate aim is to understand secure systems through the lived experiences of those who explicitly rely on them. I hold an MSc from Oxford University and an BA from McGill University, and have worked in both academic and private social research.
