Kirsten Foot, Associate Professor, is interested in several aspects of the relationship between information and communication technologies and society. As co-director of the WebArchivist.org research group, she develops methods and tools for studying social and political action on the web over time. She has researched the production of electoral web spheres around the world, and online activism in the fair trade movements in the U.S. and the UK. Her current research focuses on ICT use and coalition-building in the anti-human-trafficking movement. She is the lead author of the award-winning book Web Campaigning (MIT Press, 2006), and coeditor of The Internet and National Elections (Routledge, 2007).  She is also interested in cultural-historical activity theory and other practice-based theories of technology, and in this vein she co-edits a book series called Acting With Technology at the MIT Press.
