STS & Cultural Studies PhD. Into: critical theorizing about technoculture. Right now looking into: bureaucratic innovation and the digital welfare state.
Hot Tip: if you refresh manuscript central enough times the editor will note your ardour and perseverence and they will finally find those peer reviewers for your manuscript. I'm only at around 400, but I think 600 refreshes will do the trick.

It concerns a certain governmental innovation called the AuroraAI Network: an ambitous project to reform the welfare state in Finland using AI and digital twin technology.

Let me know what you think!
