研究兴趣
My research is focused on information literacy pedagogy and and algorithmic bias. I'm currently working on a project to apply the concept of hermeneutics (theory of interpretation) to automated systems of information evaluation. I'm researching this because libraries rely on a lot of "black box" algorithms, whose underlying logic is proprietary/hidden, “解释,“评估, 对搜索结果进行排序. I'm interested in making that underlying logic more visible so that it can be contextualized and critiqued.
I'm also curious about how we can use the curriculum to raise awareness of this technology with undergraduate students, in the hopes of better equipping them to navigate an increasingly-automated world.
