About Eddie
PhD student
School of Computing, University of Georgia.
I am interested in studying the work of culture change in computing toward addressing harm, focusing on:
How people creating technology come to understand themselves and their responsibilities for others.
The cultural barriers to addressing harm caused by computing systems
The experiences of the people interested in addressing harmful cultural beliefs and practices
The actions, infrastructures, and communities that enable or obstruct culture change in computing.
