I’m an interdisciplinary researcher interested in how language and technology impact on society. I am an assistant professor in computer science and digital humanities at Durham University.

​

My work focuses on socio-technical understandings and ethical implications of technologies.  I conduct research on human-machine interactions and inequities and biases in AI systems. I take a human-centred approach to critically evaluate technical systems and imagine what more equitable socio-technical futures could look like. I co-lead the EquiAI network with Professor Sue Black to support dialogue and collaboration across academia and industry to advance responsible AI practice.  

​

I am also a creative practitioner and over the past 10+ years I have also developed workshops, courses and public engagement activities to support creative engagements with technology and data. My applied research and creative practice has involved collaborations with arts and culture organisations, such as Barbican, Invisible Dust, Guerilla Science, York Mediale, Kino Klalssika, with events held at festivals like Green Man and Shambala.
