I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at The Pennsylvania State University.
My work broadly concerns the social and ethical dimensions of algorithms--the interplay between algorithms and society, particularly as mediated by sociocultural and political constructions of data-centric technologies. I am especially interested in the intersection of algorithmic power and algorithmic literacy, namely how diverse algorithmic knowledges support possibilities for bottom-up governance of algorithms. In a secondary stream of work, I also study how online platforms structure social, cultural, and political life via the values embedded in their practices, policies, and affordances.
