Lindsay Anne Balfour , PhD is Assistant Professor of Digital Media in the Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University and works within the Postdigital Intimacies research cluster. Her research draws on the philosophical concept of hospitality to consider the relationship between humans and machines (HCI), and employs an intersectional feminist and cultural studies perspective to look at digital intimacies. Currently, she is conducting feminist analyses of surveillance capitalism and embodied computing including how hospitality works through the digital strangeness of tracking technologies such as wearables, implantables, and ingestibles (FemTech). Her recent books include Hospitality in a Time of Terror: Strangers at the Gate , 2017; The Digital Future of Hospitality, 2023; and the forthcoming FemTech: Intersectional Interventions, 2023.
