Hi, I’m Samuel! 👋

I am a first year PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI), advised by Dr. Oliver L. Haimson and Dr. Michaelanne Thomas.

Some of my current research interests include trans-centered online communities, content moderation, platform governance, folk theorization, and alternative online infrastructures.

I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Relations and Policy in 2017, and from UMSI with a Master of Information in May 2022. Prior to my graduate program, I worked in public and academic libraries.
