Infrastructural media and discrimination
In the field of media studies, Marshall McLuhan has often been celebrated as either a prognosticator of media development and social change or maligned as an interesting but otherwise inconsistent theoretician lacking rigour. However, wherever one falls within this spectrum McLuhan did have practical ideas that can provide insight into contemporary digital environments. This claim itself is unremarkable; however, perhaps more controversial a clai…
Urban ambient air temperature estimation using hyperlocal data from smart vehicle-borne sensors
PRIME biases of the digital age
Digital technologies continue to shape nearly every facet of our lives in ways both seen and unseen. Given their systemic (i.e. environmental) nature and the rate at which their impacts emerge, anti-environments are needed to provide the kind of conscious awareness that Marshall McLuhan and subsequent others have called for. Towards this end, I introduce the PRIME model, which represents five key biases that emerge and/or are heightened within th…
Education and everyday life
In this article, I argue that Marshall McLuhan’s underexplored notion of the ‘City as Classroom’ can provide a robust model of education that can serve as an important foundation for social justice and civic action. Infusing McLuhan’s model with conceptual insights from critical pedagogy, I offer a situated education of everyday life that allows for creative and adaptive resources for navigating broader fields of power in a variety of socio-cultu…

Automation as environments
A media ecological analysis of do-it-yourself education
Drawing on the work of Marshall McLuhan and subsequent theories of media ecology, this article seeks to build upon an understanding of the complex interactions of the material and symbolic aspects of human action. To do so, I perform a tetradic analysis of an educational movement referred to as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) education. Broadly defined, the DIY education movement includes any attempt to decentralize or disrupt traditional place-based educat…
