Curriculum Vitae Profiles Search for: Home Curriculum Vitae Profiles Assistant Professor of Anthropology, etc. I am an assistant professor of anthropology at Texas State University. My Ph.D. is in sociocultural anthropology from Binghamton University in the department of anthropology. I have additionally worked as an applied anthropologist in design, branding, and information technologies since 2008. Broadly speaking, my work sits at the intersection of business and design anthropology and science and technology studies and focuses on how ambitions for better futures by states, citizens and entrepreneurs are coopted and reformed by innovation culture and its infrastructures. I’ve conducted research in Stockholm Sweden’s startup and innovation ecosystem and am currently starting up research in the Central Texas Innovation Cooridor. I am open to collaborations and seeking students to come work with me at Texas State. Want to work with me? Send me an email at akvbroek@txstate.edu. My wider research and teaching interests include: science and technology studies (STS); feminist STS; innovation studies; business anthropology; futures and foresight; expertise and ignorance; infrastructure; digital anthropology; and design anthropology and anthropologies of design. Beyond that, I am also an avid minecrafter, a whovian, the wife of a fantastic cook, and a general nerd. The best way to get in touch is by emailing me at akvbroek@gmail.com. © 2024 . All Rights...
