π§π½βπ« about me
I study questions about power and technology, looking particularly at how technology can be used to reify, reproduce, and unsettle power structures in education. Rather than use technology to improve teaching or learning, my work tries to question the normative assumptions that underlie those goals.
π¨ projects
Here are a few projects I've worked on:
- i helped start the CRAFT project and worked with teachers to build resources to teach about AI
- my summer fellowship at CSET involved technical research, advising policymakers, and writing about the values promoted in university computing curricula
- i'm occasionally in Scotland, helping develop computing curriculum βΒ in the latest trip, we worked on AI ethics and debiasing algorithms
- when i taught cs 41 with the lovely michael cooper we built an autograder for the course that can run student code and try to explain what went wrong in plain English
- gibberish displays idioms in languages that reference another language as "gibberish" (e.g. "That's Greek to me")
