She Blinded Me With Science
from her website:
I am Anna Lauren Hoffmann, a scholar and writer working at the
intersections of data, technology, culture, and ethics. I am currently
an Assistant Professor with The Information School at the University of
Washington. Before that, I worked as a postdoctoral scholar with the UC Berkeley School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley.
My work centers on issues in information, data, and ethics, with particular attention to the ways in which discourses, design, and uses of information technology can promote or hinder the pursuit of important human values like respect and justice. In particular, I am interested in how the standards and categories imposed on the world through data, information, and technological systems (or the ways we talk about them) can discriminate by supporting the development of self-respect for some and hindering its development for others. In addition, I’m interested in the development and application of research ethics and professional codes of ethics.
