Hi there! I'm Sam, a PhD student in Communication at the University of Washington. In my work, I take a cultural studies approach to studying technology. This means that I'm passionate about recognizing the ways that people build meaningful lives and "make do" in larger societal/technical structures. My current research focuses on the DIY movement and women who design technology in makerspaces. Previously, I've done research on Tumblr, digital media & learning, lifestyle blogging, and selfies (which explains my bio photo).
Outside of school, my great love is analog film photography! I mostly shoot 35mm film on a hand-me down Pentax K1000.
