My research investigates how everyday users can and should shape the governance of digital platform technologies. In much of my work, I look to online communities as a valuable locus of organizing to anticipate and respond to potential harms that platforms may expose people to (e.g., around online safety, information integrity, and algorithmic bias). Broadly, I am interested in how social, technical, and policy interventions can facilitate various kinds of collaboration, organizing, and collective action across diverse groups of everyday people to make meaningful institutional change re: the societal impacts of technologies.
I just successfully defended my doctoral dissertation! Starting in November, I will be a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University, working with Andrés Monroy-Hernández.
As a PhD student, I was advised by Aaron Shaw + part of the Community Data Science Collective.
