Biography

Nick Logler is a postdoctoral researcher working in the Tech Policy Lab. His research sits at the intersection of the possibilities available to us (imagination), the substances we use to enact these possibilities (materials), and the tools and practices we use to re-envision the boundaries of both (design). To date, Nick's research on materials and imagination has centered on the different possibilities we might envision for discarded consumer electronics, and e-waste in general. He is currently thinking about More-Than-Human Centered Design and developing tools and resources to foreground questions of materiality in tech policy.
