Time to let the cat out of the bag. This Fall, Katie and I (and our cats) will be moving to Canton, NY where I will start my new job as Assistant Professor of Digital Media & Film at St. Lawrence University! It’s bittersweet leaving Philly & @AnnenbergPenn but I am SO excited for the future, and all the cool things I’ll be able to do at SLU!

If you’ve ever asked yourself on a lazy Sunday, “What is the making of Critical Data Center Studies?” @mel_hogan, Dustin Edwards, and I have a fresh new article for you! It’s a sort of state-of-the-field of humanistic data center research and would be a great addition to any syllabus! ☺️ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/13548565231224157?journalCode=cona @AnnenbergPenn

After some thought I have decided to go full steam back into the academic job market. I’m an interdisciplinary multimodal scholar who works at the intersection of Environmenal Communication/Humanities, Science and Technology Studies, and Critical Data Studies. My work concerns entanglements between data, energy, and resource extraction in the Arctic, and I recently made this: https://www.geographiesofdigitalwasting.com. I’m looking for tenure track gigs and postdocs! I’d love to work with you!

Last year, instead of just zooming in for a cancelled-at-the-last-minute in-person talk, @lifewinning and I decided to spend three days producing a 40-minute video podcast type thing called Industrial Alchemy. I still love it. I ran across it again today and thought the mastodon crowd might enjoy it! It was a fun little piece to put together. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JkMGKdk9Xfc @AnnenbergCARGC

Now that #AoIR2023 is over, Geographies of Digital Wasting is searching for somewhere new to travel and rest its head. There will be a website next week (www.geographiesofdigitalwasting.com) but we are looking for somewhere to host the physical version between now and the start of the Spring semester. If you or your institution are interested in displaying this project, please reach out!

Today, our wonderful colleagues from the Internet Society’s Zimbabwe chapter joined us for a methods workshop at @AnnenbergCARGC where we shared experiences from our unique collaborative project, and then we met Billy Fleming’s class for a tour of our exhibit. What a fabulous day! @ISOC_Foundation @AnnenbergPenn

It was such a treat co-chairing tonight’s #AoIR2023 plenary panel. The conversation was rich, generative, and I left with so many juicy questions and lines of inquiry to follow. Thanks so much to my partner in crime @laurenebridges, and all of our brilliant panelists! The future of environmental internet research is bright! @AoIR @AnnenbergPenn @AnnenbergCARGC

@laurenebridges and I are elated to chair this year’s Plenary Panel at #AoIR2023 entitled Global Challenges to a “Green Revolution” for the Internet, with brilliant panelists including @nthylstrup (U. Copenhagen), Seyram Avle (UMass Amherst), @lifewinning (U. Delaware), and Vusumuzi Maphosa (Nat. U. of Sci & Tech, Zimbabwe)! We look forward to a lively discussion about what a “green” internet even means and how we can get there. https://tinyurl.com/48xv9ct6 @AoIR

For most of 2023 I have been battling some rather severe mental illness that has forced me to retreat from most of the parts of my life I enjoy. I apologize if this affected you, and just know that I’m working on it. Putting this new exhibit together has helped get me out of the house and feel a tad bit better. I am optimistic that things will get better at some point.

Climate doomerism comes from a place of privilege, from armchair apocalypse prophets comfortable enough to kick back and give up. Things are indeed dire, but the rest of us are here in the thick of it, fighting for and imagining a better, more just future.

It’s publication day! Digital Energetics is available! Endless thanks to University of Minnesota Press for such a pleasurable publication process, to @mrsbunz for steering this project to completion, and my brilliant coauthors @Aepasek, Cindy Lin, & Jordan Kinder! If you are teaching about or at all interested in the weird and wild intimacies between digital media and energy, this is your jam. @AnnenbergPenn https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/digital-energetics
