"Using Technology to Deepen Democracy, Using Democracy to Ensure Technology Benefits Us All"

I am a lecturer in the Department of Rhetoric at the University of California at Berkeley, from which I also earned my PhD in 2005, and I am a member of the visiting faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute. Here is my CV and here is a brief statement about my work and my teaching philosophy. I am the Human Rights Fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) and have been a Fellow as well at the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics (CCLE).

My courses "Critical Theory, Network Politics, and 'New' Media," "Varieties of Techno-Ethical Discourse," and "The Rhetoric of Public Speaking" are now concluded. The syllabi and collaborative blogs for my current courses, "Critical Theory A" at SFAI as well as, Rhetoric 20, "The Rhetoric of Interpretation," and Rhetoric 1A, "Ranting, Raving, Writing," are available at BloggingTEC: Technology, Ethics, and Culture, Arguere, and Interpretatio.

I am currently working on a book based on my doctoral dissertation, entitled Pancryptics: Technological Transformations of the Subject of Privacy. In the dissertation, I discuss ways in which both the politics and various experiences of privacy are transforming under pressure of emerging and converging networked digital and biomedical technologies. Here is a short abstract for that dissertation. My Committee consisted of Judith Butler, Mark Poster, Pamela Samuelson, and Linda Williams.

I was one of the organizers of the Human Enhancement Technologies and Human Rights, Conference at Stanford University, May 26-28, 2006. For a couple of years I organized the Boundaries in Question Conference at Berkeley, in association with the Beatrice M. Bain Research Group and the Designated Emphasis on Women, Gender, and Sexuality. In 2003, the Conference was organized around the topic Subject, Object, Abject. In 2004, the Conference was entitled Feminists Face the Future: New Feminist Perspectives on Biotechnology and Bioethics.

My personal blog is called Amor Mundi, and I also contribute to the collaborative blogs Cyborg Democracy and The Technoprogressive. All of these blogs are variously preoccupied with the intersection between technodevelopmental social struggle and radical democratic hopes, as is the technoliberation, a discussion list for which I am a moderator.

I live in the wonderfully bucolic Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, California, with my partner, Eric, and two feral lunatic cats, Sarah and Sasha.
