Ellie J. Vela (they/she)
Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2020
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm interested in exploring the interplay of technology and power – how the two shape each other. I approach the subject from an interdisciplinary lens, combining work from the fields of philosophy, sociology, critical studies, and Human-Computer Interaction.
Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the Ethics and Society Review, where I performed qualitative data analysis to develop insights into the types of societal risks present in AI research projects, as well as the kinds mitigation strategies researchers propose to address those risks.
Currently, I'm running a study investigating students' experiences with computerized administration systems in use at US universities (IT systems, surveys, forms, etc.) and seeking to understand how well these systems represent queer and trans experiences of gender. -
