I teach both the 4-credit (Comm-B) and 3-credit versions of LIS 461, an undergraduate course that examines the ethical, social, and policy implications of data-driven systems. The course introduces students to key debates around algorithmic bias, surveillance, predictive analytics, and the politics of data, with a strong emphasis on critical reflection and participatory ethics.
Designed and currently lead all aspects of the course, including curriculum design, weekly lectures, assessments, and in-class activities.
Supervise a teaching assistant and coordinate with three graders to support over 130 students, manage grading processes, and facilitate structured peer review activities.
Developed content that supports student engagement with topics such as data justice, sociotechnical systems, algorithmic accountability, and the impact of AI systems on marginalized communities.
