i study how people shape the governance of digital / platform technologies. you can find more about my research on my website. feel free to email or message me!
I'm co-organizing #CSCW NE, an in-person regional gathering for people in Northeast America, alongside some folks from Stevens, Rutgers, and Princeton. If you want to come hang out (especially if you can't make it out to the full conference in Bergen this year), RSVP at https://cscw-ne.hci.social
Please boost and help share 😊🔁
I’ll be presenting this work at #CSCW in #Bergen on Tuesday! We will be part of the session “Core Concepts in Privacy Research” at 2:30PM in Bekken ☺️ @cscw@hci.social
With the opening of bsky the other day, it feels like a good time to re-plug our interview study on community governance + privacy on decentralized platforms. If you're a server owner, admin, or mod, we'd love to chat! No prep is needed, and folks can get a $20 gift card.
Happy to answer any questions here or via email. More info + sign up at: tinyurl.com/sohw-mapp
Boosts very appreciated!

if you're at #FediForum, @tolu@micro.blogs.princeton.edu and I are facilitating a session on the politics of protocols and designing with power in mind in about 5 minutes! we want to talk about our recent pre-print (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22962v1) but it's mostly free-form, open discussion related to the topic
transcribing some interviews and calls i've had with folks about the fediverse, and the software that does the initial run for me has so far interpreted it as:
* feta verse
* petty verse
* better verse
* fighting verse
* fed averse
We’re conducting a study about policies and privacy in online communities. If you’re on the Fediverse and a legal adult in your locale, we’d love to chat! No familiarity with policies is needed, and participants can receive a $20 gift card. More info + sign up link: https://tinyurl.com/sohw-mapp

I just boosted a toot about this but wanted to make my own lil blurb: I'm part of an event this Friday by @communitydata@social.coop where I'll be talking about the practical takeaways from the findings of the interview study I was doing late 2023/early 2024 on privacy, policies, and community governance on fedi. We'll have group discussions, and we'd love to chat + be in dialogue w/ folks on fedi! Please feel fre to register / boost 😊

I'm organizing a panel at 4S 2025 with the wonderful @kaylea@social.coop on "social model collapse" in online spaces as human participation and interaction become replaced by AI modalities, disrupting fundamental social processes that sustain our digital ecosystem. If you have thoughts or ongoing work on this, we would love to have you! The call is lightweight, it only asks for a 250-word abstract due Jan 31: https://blog.communitydata.science/thinking-about-ai-harms-to-communities-submit-to-our-upcoming-4s-panel/
please boost + share 😊🔁
