Background
  • Designs, builds, and studies social computing systems that have pro-social outcomes. These systems and studies have applications to social media, education, collaboration, social justice, and gig economy. One of her main interests is designing systems that give people more autonomy and democratize power that is otherwise in the hands of a centralized authority. Many of these systems re-imagine the design of social media and more broadly the web to give users more agency over what content they want to see or avoid — i.e., they democratize content curation and moderation.
