Sudeep was a researcher working on the ‘Towards a Hybrid Cities Programme’ project from September 2023 to April 2024. With a research background in new media archives and a new materialist approach to data, Sudeep brought a rigorous and imaginative lens to the project. A graduate from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), he contributed to the Fairwork Project, working on vital communications between a widely dispersed network of research teams and contributing editorial pieces on behalf of the project.

Outside of his research, Sudeep has worked with community organising centres across Philadelphia, PA and his hometown of Dallas, TX, engaging with community members directly through his ethnographic approaches. While at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC), he conducted fieldwork and stakeholder interviews at various Asian American-focused community centres in service of his article ‘Media and Networks in the Queer API Archive,’ published by CARGC Press.

Sudeep currently holds an MSc in Social Science of the Internet from the OII and a BA in Communication from the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania.
