Hi all! Thrilled to be here. I'm an Assistant Prof at the U of Delaware. I work on the material and cultural politics of tech + media + disability in Japan, such as assistive technology, videogames, and traditional objects (like Japanese chess sets!). Thanks to @jaivirdi.bsky.social for the invite!
