Her ongoing research has been supported by the Internet Archive, Processing Foundation, 0x Salon, and CultureHub. She currently teaches Solidarity Infrastructures at the School for Poetic Computation and regularly facilitates public learning engagements across academic institutions such as CalArts, Harvard, Duke, NYU, HFBK, and University of Toronto, cultural institutions including Goethe-Institute, Gray Area, Oyoun, Iowa PS1, and MAK Center, and independent initiatives like Trust, NAVEL, Tiny Tech Zines, and Mehringplatz 20.
