I encourage students to pursue questions about international politics by traversing and combining scholarship and insight from a range of approaches including feminist and postcolonial theory, visual culture, STS, and media studies. The proliferation of new communications technologies and the networks they engender mean that we must adjust our theories to accommodate the speed and scale by which flows of information, people, capital, and ideas travel and shape how we understand political community. In my courses, I invite students to embrace the complexity of global issues, to develop a literacy for planetary differences, as well as a technical literacy in new forms of communication and research.
