I am an Assistant Professor of Information Communication Technology in University of Kentucky's School of Information Science. As part of my research, I study issues of accountability, justice, care, and equity that manifest when building, using and maintaining algorithmic and data infrastructures for marginalized communities. I do this by combining participatory and design based research methods with scholarship from Human Computer Interaction and Science & Technology Studies. I'm active in scholarly communities such as ACM’s Computer Supported Collaborative Work and Social Media (CSCW), ACM’s Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), ACM’s Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS), iConference, Participatory Design Conference (PDC), and Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S).
