ANUBHA SINGH

 Hello! I am a PhD candidate at the School of Information and the Science, Technology, and Society program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am on the academic job market beginning Fall 2024.

Through long term ethnography of the onion supply chain in Western Maharashtra, I study how data-driven technologies are restructuring farming and redefining the future of agriculture in India. My work is informed by and contributes to the fields of Postcolonial and Feminist Science and Technology Studies, Ethnography of Computing and Agriculture, and Critical Cultural Studies.

At the School of Information, I am co-advised by Silvia Lindtner and Patricia Garcia. I am affiliated with the Centre for Ethics, Computing and Society, the tech.culture.matters research collective, and the Culturally Responsive Computing research lab. 

I was a Commonwealth Scholar at SOAS, University of London, where I completed my MA in Global Digital Cultures. I have studied India's data-driven governance through an extensive examination of the Digital India program. 

I have seven years of transnational experience as a community-based, feminist, and social justice-oriented practitioner. Among other achievements and community service, I collaboratively designed and coordinated a MacArthur Foundation-funded, social-impact award-winning infoline. This service disseminates information about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to marginalized rural communities with limited internet access in India.

A complete list of my publications can be found on my Google Scholar website. My publications are also available as linked PDFs in the "Writing" section of this website.
