Metrics of Inequality: The Concentration of Resources in the U.S. Biomedical Elite
Science as Culture (2019)
I teach at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in the Department of American Culture and Digital Studies Institute. I received my PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT in 2014. I’m broadly interested in the history, politics, and philosophy of the sciences; in studies of imperialism, racial capitalism, and white supremacy; and in radical social movements (among other things).
My work in the sciences explored the relationship between biology and cognition, including the idea of biological computation.
My book Artificial Whiteness, about white supremacy and artificial intelligence, was published in 2020.
