Power, Affect, and Computing (PAC) Lab
We study the complex intersections of human experience and technology. Guided by critical, feminist, and other justice-oriented commitments, our core interests center on the socio-political aspects of emerging technologies, from social media, to AI, wearables, and femtech.
Across our work, we pay attention to interconnected themes of power, justice, identity, affect, and knowledge.
We draw from diverse fields including (Feminist) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Critical Computing, Social Computing, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), (Feminist) Science and Technology Studies (STS), Women and Gender Studies, Communication, and Critical Data and Algorithm Studies.
What unites our work is not a single domain, but a shared commitment to human-centered inquiry, non-reductive approaches to human experience, and a dedication to sociotechnical justice.
