JOHANNA BREWER

Dr. Johanna Brewer is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Smith College and the Director of Research for AnyKey... For my work on the aesthetics of urban mobility in the field of ubiquitous computing, I earned a PhD in Informatics from UC Irvine. I've authored a host of articles in leading human-computer interaction, media studies, science & technology studies, and computer supported cooperative work publications... My ethnographic research explores how marginalized communities challenge surveillance capitalism and my technology design practice aims to increase inclusion on media platforms. By collaborating with grassroots groups who transform our world through new economies, forms of expression, and styles of governance, I seek to develop technologies that benefit our diverse society.
