Academic Achievements
- In addition to these books, she has co-edited four special issues: The first was “Probes as Participatory Design Practice” (with Susanne Maaß, 2018, i-com Journal of Interactive Media), for which they invited authors to report and reflect on the use of “cultural probes” for participatory design research projects. In 2019, the special issue “The Datafication of Education” (with Andreas Breiter, Learning, Media and Technology) introduced critical data studies to research on educational technologies. Following up on this important research in education, she co-edited a special issue on “Designing Postdigital Futures” (with Felicitas Macgilchrist, Heidrun Allert, and Teresa Cerratto-Pargman, 2024, Postdigital Science and Education), which comprises 20 papers, 2 commentaries, and 2 interviews centering around questions of social justice, datafication, design, and community responses in education. Lastly, she co-edited a special issue on “Care-ful Data Studies” (with Irina Zakharova, 2024, Information, Communication and Society), in which they ask what we see when we look at datafied societies through the lens of care (ethics).
Research Experience
- She has served as an independent expert to the European Commission in the areas of eInfrastructures and Digital Science since 2009. She has co-organized the Data Power Conference three times (2019 in Bremen, 2022 as a hybrid event in Bremen, Sheffield, Ottawa, and online, and 2024 as a hybrid event in Graz, Bangalore, and online). Based on the 2019 conference, she co-edited the open access volume “New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies: The Ambivalences of Data Power” (with Andreas Hepp and Leif Kramp, 2022, Palgrave). Data Power 2022 resulted in the co-edited open access book “Dialogues in Data Power: Shifting Response-abilities in a Datafied World” (with Jo Bates, 2024, Bristol University Press). The book is an experiment in facilitating dialogues between Critical Data Studies scholars across disciplines and geographical locations and has resulted in nine collectively authored chapters. Her third co-edited book “Algorithmic Regimes: Methods, Interactions and Politics” (with Bianca Prietl, Simon Egbert, Yana Boeva, Hendrik Heuer, and Maike Arnold, Amsterdam University Press) is also open access and brings together STS and computer science scholars to consider the shifting knowledge regimes in datafied societies. She also published the open access monograph “Co-creating Digital Public Services for an Ageing Society” (Springer), which explores how older populations can be engaged in the design and delivery of digital services based on open government data.
Education
- From 2014 to 2022, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bremen, Germany, where she co-founded the university’s Data Science Center. She received her PhD from Lancaster University, UK, and worked there as a research associate at the Centre for the Study of Technology and Organisation (2013/2014). She was a visiting research fellow at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (February/March 2018) and the University of Bristol, UK (April/May and August/September 2022). She holds an MSc in IT, Management and Organisational Change (Lancaster University), an MA in Philosophy and BSc in Informatics (both from the University of Hamburg, Germany).
Background
- Professor of Digital Societies at the University of Graz, Austria. Her research focuses on the increasing importance of digital data in the public sector, education, and for aging populations. Theoretically and conceptually, her work is situated in critical data studies, new materialism, and feminist STS. She aims to design more sustainable, inclusive, and participatory sociodigital futures.
Miscellany
- She is interested in feminist science fiction.
