I work as the Associate Director at the Center for the Humanities at UC San Diego. My research interests revolve around technology-body-nature relations, and my object of study is the origins and growth of mountain biking (http://bikinghistory.com), along with bicycling cultures more broadly speaking (http://bicicultures.org). I am passionate about manifesting the importance of the humanities to everyday life and resolutely forming knowledge across divides of all sorts.
