Hi, I'm Brett.
You found my website! Welcome. This is not a fancy website. Basically just a place to introduce myself and post my CV .
I recently completed my PhD at UC Santa Barbara in the Department of Global Studies, specializing in comparative political economy. My research examines the intersection of capitalism and technology.
In particular, I'm interested in the ways that societies and markets develop (or fail to develop) governance approaches to address risks and complexities posed by new and emerging technologies. My current research is centered around big data and artificial intelligence, and my dissertation project is titled: Data Ecologies & The Political Economy of Ambient Intelligence. Check out the "about" me section to learn a bit more about what I do.
