As a first-generation four-year college student, I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College, where I double-majored in mathematics and history and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. My term studying in London and conducting research at Girton College, Cambridge inspired me (eventually) to pursue a doctorate. After college, I enjoyed a successful career launching educational programs ranging from an online ESL website to online Advanced Placement courses for high school students.  I earned my first master’s degree at Duke University while launching the PhD Program at the Sanford School of Public Policy. I earned my PhD from Yale University in 2015. I was an Exchange Scholar at MIT during 2012-2014, and a Visiting Scholar (postdoctoral fellow) at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences during 2015-16. In 2018, I fired Michigan State University in protest, choosing to leave my tenure-track position after publication of my book. I am now a Research Associate Professor at New York University, where I directed research in Gender, Race, and Power in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the AI Now Institute before becoming a Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Responsible AI.
