Emily's research explores the implications of financialization and metrification for online identity and selfhood.

Emily’s research explores reputation, personality and character in social media and financialized culture. Her recent writings have explored volatility in finance, art, and culture; character in social impact investing; and YouTube personalities as platform infrastructure, among other topics.

Emily's forthcoming monograph, Reputation Warfare: Contested Credibility in Online Platforms, explores the aesthetics and politics of volatile reputation measures on social media. Her ongoing practice-led project, Somatic Infrastructures, seeks imaginative links between embodied experience and hidden communication infrastructures, such as WiFi, plant hormone signals, and carrier waves in radio.

Emily currently serves as Head of Visual Cultures. She is also Editor of Finance and Society, and Advisory Board member of Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory. She teaches subjects including contemporary art theory, performance, infrastructures, online culture, and financialization.

Teaching and supervision

I teach on a wide range of topics across Visual Cultures BA programmes, including digital and data publics, online platform cultures, performance art, conceptual art, financialization, and art markets. My MA Contemporary Art Theory special subject explores the entanglements of performance with infrastructures in various senses (eg. financial, digital, relational).

Research interests

My research explores unexpected connections between Western understandings of selfhood (through the contingent conceptual categories personality, reputation, and character), digital infrastructures, and financial systems. My forthcoming book, Reputation Warfare: Contested Credibility in Online Platforms, explores what online platforms do to reputation, by producing endless signs of credibility, popularity, and importance (such as like counts, follower counts, and reviews). Far from stabilizing the value of reputations, I argue, online platforms’ quantification of reputations amplifies long-developing conflicts about their value, and inaugurates reputation volatility as a force reshaping culture, politics and public debate.

Other recent writings have explored YouTube personalities as platform infrastructure (Distinktion, 2023), volatility in finance, art and culture (Finance and Society, 2023), the implications of social impact investing for socially engaged art practices (Finance and Society, 2016) and literary theories of character (Journal of Cultural Economy, 2020); post-truth as bullying (Fabricating Publics, Open Humanities Press, 2021); financialization, subjectivity and culture (Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism, Springer, 2022); and online dating platforms and assetized selves (Journal of Aesthetics & Culture, 2018).

My ongoing practice-led project, Somatic Infrastructures, explores ways to connect embodied experience with signalling infrastructures that cannot be directly sensed, such as carrier waves in radio, WiFi signals, and airborne plant hormone communication. This multimedia project includes a recent participatory choreographic work, The Carrier Wave; a two-person exhibition, Semio-Technical Traffics, SixtyEight Art Institute, Copenhagen; and an accompanying bookwork, The Hidden Track.
