What this site is for

This site is organised into three places: where I think out loud, where I keep the framework that underlies my partnership work, and where the regular writing goes out. You arrived here for one of them. The doors below are the same width, in case you came for a different one than you expected.

01
Ideas

Field notes on technology, ethics, and what holds together.

Long-form essays on digital rights, AI governance, the platforms that shape public life, and the institutions that might still be capable of holding them to account. This is where I think out loud.
