Her book Invisible users: Youth in the Internet cafés of urban Ghana was published last month by MIT Press. She completed her Ph.D. in 2007 in the Department of Sociology at the London School of Economics carrying out thesis research on Internet café use in Accra, Ghana. Before pursuing her Ph.D., she was an Application Concept Developer in the People and Practices Research Group at Intel Corporation. Her interests span many research topics including theories of materiality, user agency, transnationalism, post–colonial relations, digital representation, and especially the appropriation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by individuals and social groups on the African continent.
