I am Associate Professor of New Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam and Associate Professor (II) of Media Innovation at the University of Oslo. I am also the Principal Investigator of the ERC-funded project DATACTIVE, and the funding director of the DATACTIVE Ideas Lab, a consultancy agency.

I am passionate about the interplay between technologies and society, and in particular I am interested in the possibilities of self organization, emancipation, and autonomy that digital technology opens up. A political scientist by formation, I value interdisciplinary research, and feel myself at home at the intersection of a variety of fields, including critical data studies, social movement studies, and science and technology studies.

Currently I am busy with four partially overlapping research projects, respectively on cloud protesting, the politics of code, data activism, and content regulation on and by platforms.

Research interests: social movements, cyberactivism, the politics of code, social media and politics, and digital research methods
