Hi!
I’m Os Keyes, a PhD student at the University of Washington’s Department of Human Centred Design & Engineering. I am supported by and an inaugural winner of the Ada Lovelace Fellowship.
My research interests are (very broadly) gender, technology and/or power: I want to understand the role technology plays in constructing the world, and how we might construct a better one. Specific research questions I’m interested in or working on include:
- How do facial recognition systems encode and inscribe notions of race and gender? What notions, and how?
- How is biomedical technology used to measure or authenticate trans lives?
- What are the possible consequences of deploying AI in autism diagnostics?
- How do we build a new world in the shell of the old?
I can be contacted for random questions, speaking engagements and offers of high-value cheques at okeyes @
