I am an economist (BHons, Universidad del CEMA) and social anthropologist (MSc, University of Edinburgh; PhD, University of Manchester) who, after a 2-year stint as a political and economic consultant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, turned to academia to research ethical, political and economic reasoning around new technologies.

My doctoral and early postdoctoral work was based on my ethnography of Uber’s conflict in Buenos Aires, where I examined the logics, rhetoric and affects of what I called post-political reasoning – a popular, not governmental, orientation towards the foreclosing of the political. This project involved an anthropological examination of the neoclassical economics canon: the moral imperative of choice, the inherent virtue of competition, the perfectly informed citizen-consumer and popular reflections on categories such as efficiency, market price, demand and the like.
