Alex Borkowski is a writer and academic based in Toronto. She holds a PhD in Communication & Culture from York University. Her research combines approaches from media history, sound studies and feminist STS to examine voice technologies, particularly recent developments in AI. Her doctoral dissertation crafts a genealogy between voice interfaces, such as Alexa, and spiritualist séances, examining how particular conceptions of voice, gender, performance and (dis)embodiment remain operative within contemporary technologies.
