About
Throughout her career, Caitlin has taught a range of courses focused on the social, cultural, economic, and political implications of technology, media, and communications. Her academic and research focus has been on the development and deployment of alternative communications infrastructure. Prior to her teaching career, Caitlin spent time in Washington, DC, working with activists and various NGOs; most recently, she has been studying activists working on the creation and deployment of mesh networks in New York. She uses this experience to inform her work in the classroom, where emphasis is given to bringing theory and practice together to help students see themselves as being actively engaged in the production, consumption, and shaping of the (non)digital world.
