About Me
At the University of Toronto I serve as the Interim Director of the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information & Technology (ICCIT) and the Director of the Master of Science in Sustainability Management (MScSM) program. In addition to ICCIT, I hold appointments with the Institute for Management and Innovation (IMI), the Faculty of Information, and the School of the Environment. Before coming to Toronto, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. My research focuses on the materiality of information and communication technologies and its implications for social, economic, and ecological sustainability. I am the author of the books A Critical Introduction to the Economics of Sustainability from Routledge and Digital Media Economics from SAGE. I have published articles in journals like Media Culture & Society; Information, Communication & Society; IEEE Multimedia; Television & New Media; International Journal of Communication; Journal of Outdoor Recreation & Tourism-Research Planning & Management; Environmental Communication; and Communication Theory.
