Alice Fox
Lecturer, Science, Technology and Society
Bio
I study the interrelational dynamics of socio-technical systems and artifacts. I frequently rely upon new and emerging theories and methods within and between post-phenomenology, post-humanism, Constructed Grounded Theory, and Thinking with Theory. I often work collaboratively and seek to merge ideas across various disciplines to generate creative and novel approaches to multi-dimensional problems.
I focus on critical pedagogy approaches in the classroom, and I strive to cultivate sharp and compassionate students. I have taught Introduction to STS, Adventures in Video Games and Society, Technology & Disability, amongst others.
In my free time, I can be found playing games (digital and analog), quilting, gardening, or hanging out with my dog, Nightshade.
