Gabriela Mendez Cota is a doctoral student in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths University of London. Drawing on her Humanities background, Gabriela has addressed issues related to technology, such as technological reductions of Western philosophy (BA dissertation on Marshall McLuhan) and the status of technology in contemporary critiques of metaphysics (MA dissertation on Bernard Stiegler). More recently Gabriela has moved into Media and Cultural studies to investigate the ethics and politics at stake in particular understandings of technology. Her PhD thesis develops a critical interdisciplinary approach to the complex relations between agricultural biotechnology and the cultural politics of Mexican nationalism.
