Abstract: Research on media, technology, and neurodivergence has expanded greatly over the past decade to be more inclusive of neurodivergent (ND) adults (particularly those identifying…
Abstract: While the “future of work” promises innovation and opportunity, it often manifests as uncertainty and instability---exposing a stark divide between optimistic predictions and lived…
Abstract: Information Science has historically examined information (in)equity from the perspective of how individual or societal conditions produce behaviors that impact physical or cognitive access…
Abstract: Programming agents are becoming increasingly prevalent. Yet, how well do we understand their behavior in practice? Do they operate as intended, what factors influence their…
Abstract: As systems of domination increasingly grip the academy with anti-intellectual, anti-democratic, and uncaring force, professors like me despair: what can we do? I have…
Abstract: AI technologies are rapidly being woven into the games, platforms, and devices that children use for digital play. Yet little is known about how…
