Law, technology, and the infrastructures of global governance.
I am a legal scholar working at the intersections of international law, technology, and infrastructure. My research examines how communications systems, computational power, and digital infrastructures are intertwined with sovereignty, political economy, and global legal ordering.
A history and theory of the relationship between communications infrastructure, empire, and international law.
