I am a linguistic anthropologist, feminist STS scholar, and an Assistant Professor and the 2025-2028 Richard Stockton Bicentennial Preceptor in the Anthropology Department at Princeton University. I am also a faculty affiliate of the History of Science Program, the Program in Cognitive Science, the Center for Health and Wellbeing, Princeton Language + Intelligence (PLI) and Natural and Artificial Minds.

I study how technologies that “travel under the sign of AI,” to use Lucy Suchman’s term, are impacting the practice, profession, and sensory politics of psychiatric medicine and the psychological sciences in the US. My research projects trace the semiotic work and moral economies of discernment underpinning machine listening technologies, especially those deployed for healthcare and intelligence-gathering use cases.

I received my PhD in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology and Society (HASTS) at MIT and my MA in Anthropology at Brandeis University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate in the Anthropology Department at MIT, the associate director and co-founder of the Language and Technology Lab, and a Weatherhead Fellow at the School for Advanced Research.
