My monograph Digital Modernity: Why We Need to Think Historically About the Digital Age (Routledge, 2026) is out now, and available open access.

Core argument: digital systems are continuations of modernity, not breaks from it.

Covers Silicon Valley ideology, digital colonialism, AI, infrastructure, and the public sphere.

The ANU HASS Digital Research Hub is advertising a research software engineering position, to contribute to the Social Science Research Infrastructure Network (SSRIN) project, funded by ARDC and led by University of Queensland. It would be a great role for someone interested in computational social science and/or research software engineering.
