Digital systems pervade classic STS sites of interest, from connecting laboratories to mediating lay-expert divides. But STS has so far been reticent to build the theoretical and analytical perspectives necessary for embracing digital systems as an important element of contemporary fieldwork, research, and practice...

21st-century collaboration technologies are challenging the way we think about work, play and communication, long before Covid-19 forced everyone onto Zoom. I study collaborative teams and digital environments in my work at NASA, and I use these insights to put these insights into practice in publications in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work. But I am also passionate about thinking about how we study digital environments, and how we might build different kinds of systems too.

With my colleague David Ribes and an interdisciplinary, transnational team, we assembled the massive and extraordinary digitalSTS project: a collaborative journey that tried to theorize a next generation of approaches to science and technology studies, in the digital era. The edited volume is only one part of this project's culmination.

I am also part of a community of practitioners that tries to put alternative values at the center for designing everyday technologies. Sometimes this means thinking differently about how people keep their archives, or how we build for 'developing economies', or how we study different communities of people responsibly. I co-chaired the alt.CHI track at the ACM's Human Computer Interaction conference for two years. And in Spring 2021 I take this critical perspective to the design of anti-racist technologies in a Grand Challenge class with Princeton students.
