Technomancy

HCI

I’m a writer, researcher, and scholar-practitioner focused on ways that AI and emerging technologies reshape human relationships, labor, and decision-making. My work blends feminist science and technology studies, queer theory, and performance, bringing a socially-informed, interdisciplinary perspective to AI, digital media, and design.

I teach courses on feminist approaches to game design, critical interface theory, and the politics of AI. My research explores the hidden human labor behind AI systems, the emotional and ethical dimensions of human-AI interaction, and how digital tools shape our everyday lives. I’m passionate about translating complex systems into clear, accessible narratives that reveal the deeper social forces at play.

My current book project, Hormone Trouble, examines feminist art and science practices that generate alternative knowledges, disrupt dominant institutional logics, and expose the affective infrastructures of technology. I’m particularly interested in how we design, touch, and survive machines.

Before academia, I built a career as a media professional, writing books on sex, power, and queer relationships, hosting The Diana Cage Show on SiriusXM, and leading editorial teams at national LGBTQ publications. This experience in public discourse and cultural critique continues to inform my work, bridging scholarship with real-world impact.
