About Me
I am a professor of English at the University of Kansas, where I am also serving as a Faculty Fellow for Humanities Advancement for the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Fellow in the Center for Cyber-Social Research (I2S), and Interim Director of the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction. My primary research focus is on technology and culture, particularly but not exclusively with regard to contemporary "artificial intelligence" and British, Irish, and Northern Irish literature and culture. I am the author of A Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights for Education (Critical AI 2.1) and have published several articles and book chapters on technology and culture (see below). I am co-director (with Sean Kamperman) of the AI & Digital Literacy project, in partnership with the National Humanities Center and the Hall Family Foundation. I also serve on the founding advisory board for Harvard’s AI Pedagogy Project and have spoken on critical AI literacy at the University of Kansas, Rutgers University, and Kansas State University. My most important scholarly contribution is that I am Possum Queen.
