Brief CV

I am Ramon y Cajal researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Girona. I am a human geographer with interests in digital, political, urban, and labour geographies, as well as geographic thought and critical theory. My research has focused broadly on the ways entangled processes of social and technological change (particularly around digitalization, robotics, and AI) are differentially produced, experienced, and contested across the spaces of everyday life. This has included work studying the development and deployment of socially-interactive robots in museums, homes, and public spaces; on critical and alternative community-based practices of digitalization; and on the ideologies and utopian imaginaries propogated by Sillicon Valley; among other topics. Currently, I am developing a new line of research on workers' experiences and rights in relation to AI, the role of workers and unions in negotiating the terms of use of AI in different work environments, and the new labour geographies that this generates.

I received a combined honours B.A. (2012) in International Development Studies and Contemporary Studies jointly conferred by the University of King’s College and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I then completed a MA (2015) and Phd (2019) in Geography at the University of Arizona in the United States. While completing my PhD, I was a pre-doctoral visiting scholar in the Department of Humanities at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (2016-2019). From 2019 to 2022 I was Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Nevada Reno in the United States, and from 2022 to 2024 I was Assistant Professor of Digitalization and Society at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Prior to joining UdG, I also worked in the research group TURBA at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
