Information Science, Data, & Legal Infrastructure
I examine how information systems, metadata infrastructures, and research analytics shape access to environmental and legal knowledge.
Research Overview
My work explores the ethical and structural dimensions of information access. Drawing on a background in mathematics and librarianship, I investigate how classification systems, circulation policies, and research infrastructures influence environmental law, prison reform, and institutional knowledge production.
