Research Interests

I'm currently carrying out ethnographic research at Town and Country Village Apartments, a low-income community in southeast San Diego. My main interests lie in understanding "the community" and academia as dynamic agents in meaning and knowledge creation --from the points of view of lived environment, context of social interaction, and creative activity in virtual and digital media. A main axis of inquiry is the proliferation (or not) of conceptual (re)presentations of Science in, and through, digital production --movies, photography, virtual worlds-- whose creation depends on mutual appropriation by both the community and members of UCSD'sLaboratory of Comparative Human Cognition.
