Kayla Booth (she/her) is the PI/Director of the iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3), as well as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Networked Systems at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Computing and Information. Together, we can extend the conversation beyond recruitment towards retention and community. It will then introduce the iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3), a national undergraduate research and leadership development program with 11+ years of success, that employs a disruptive model by building its infrastructure around relationships. This talk will briefly explore commonalities across undergraduate research programs designed to recruit students from underrepresented populations into graduate programs and careers in information and computing. Kayla Booth, University of Pittsburgh, USA Abstract Next year Danaë will be joining the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania as an assistant professor, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication.ĭisrupting Models of Diversity & Inclusion and Undergraduate Research: Inside the iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) Their research interests focus on sociotechnical systems’ effects on users in high-stakes social contexts like employment and politics. Danaë holds a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University during their PhD, Danaë was also a fellow with the McCoy Center for Ethics in Society and the winner of an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Danaë Metaxa (they/them) is a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Stanford University Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, working on the Program for Democracy and the Internet.
Finally, I will conclude by discussing the implications of such work for researchers, system designers, and policymakers. occupations and measuring people’s responses to such search results. I will touch on my prior work examining aesthetic bias in web design and its impacts on users, as well as a recent project auditing gender and race in image search results for common U.S. In this talk, I will discuss some of my research addressing whether and how these systems are biased and how those biases impact users, towards the aim of building better sociotechnical systems. While the sociotechnical systems deploying these algorithms-search engines, social networking sites, and others-have the potential to dramatically improve human life, they also run the risk of reproducing or intensifying social inequities and tensions.
