Operationalizing AI Ethics

I understand first-hand the difficulties of implementing responsible tech. In my recent master's dissertation, I worked with Data & Society's AI on the Ground team to further explore how AI ethics can move beyond frameworks and principles to make a positive impact. My work now continues to focus on this applied dimension of operationalization of responsible technology.

Sociology of Technology

In my master's degree, I spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the ways society and technology interact -- specifically, how social worlds, power dynamics, and the political economy of digital technology interact to construct our current technological landscape. While most of my thinking is applied, I love learning about the theories and history of science and technology studies.

Leveraging Institutions

Part of understanding technological change involves understanding complex systems and institutions. My work on strategic litigation for digital rights and platform accountability leverages the mechanisms of legal institutions to enact change. I am very interested in similar ways of channeling institutional reform, whether in government, law, or prviate companies.

Writing and Researching

My career and research has focused on technology and society, but I am interested in a great many different aspects of the ways society at large operates, how we can make the world better, and what has happened in the past to shape our current systems. I'm broadly interested in developing my writing skills for a more general, non-academic audience, and have been publishing on my Substack.
