Halvard Nnamani

Doctoral Candidate

Supervised by Kwame Lindqvist and Verity Marris

School of Emergent Priorities

Mr Nnamani came to the University after seven seasons as the registrar of a regional junior sport association, a job that ended each season with the registrations exported to a spreadsheet. His doctoral research follows what is typed into the "Other (please specify)" box on the online forms of 38 community organisations --- a census of 61,208 entries, a trace of 417 such boxes through their keepers' exports, 44 recorded sessions with people completing their own forms and a three-arm trial across 14,406 form sessions --- and argues that the box is a courtesy the form extends, whose work is done at the moment of typing. He works within the School of Emergent Priorities under Associate Professor Kwame Lindqvist and Professor Verity Marris.
