Hi! I am a scholar, researcher, and educator focusing on the ways ethics, values, and norms are (or are not) articulated relative to data and information technologies, with specific attention paid to 1) competing conceptions of justice and injustice, domination and subjugation, and inclusion and exclusion relative to data, information, and technology and 2) the ways they evoke or elide questions of gender, race, and other social organizing categories. Additionally, work and write on issues around ethics education for data professionals and computer scientists, focusing on the possibilities (and limits) of research ethics, ethics codes, and data metaphors for confronting the challenges posed by pervasive surveillance and processes like machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Currently, I am currently an Associate Professor with The Information School at the University of Washington, where I am also co-founder and co-director of AfterLab. I am also a senior fellow with the Center for Applied Transgender Studies and affiliate faculty with the UW iSchool’s DataLab. My writing and research has appeared in academic venues like New Media & Society, Review of Communication, JASIST, and Information, Communication, and Society. My work has also appeared The Guardian, Slate, and The Los Angeles Review of Books.
