Hi, I'm Elizabeth! 

I'm a PhD candidate in Communication at Stanford, supervised by Angèle Christin. I am interested broadly in the relationship between aging, health, and technology. 

My recent publications include studies of how workers use technology to manage pronoun sharing, how young adult Alexa users navigate distrust through anthropomorphism, and the challenges associated with technologies of care for older people. 

I received my MSc in Sociology from the University of Oxford in 2021, where I was supervised by Ekaterina Hertog. I then spent two years as a Pre-doctoral Research Assistant for the Social Media Collective at Microsoft Research New England, where I worked with Mary Gray, Tarleton Gillespie, and Nancy Baym on topics such as content moderation, the future of work, and co-development of data systems alongside community-based organizations.
