This explains why my black and POC students felt more empowered in the eighties than they do now, despite bodycams; there was some hope for fairness and justice, and none now. Why filming police violence has done nothing to stop it | MIT Technology Review technologyreview.com/2020/06…

Why filming police violence has done nothing to stop it

After years of police body cams and bystander cellphone video, it’s clear that evidentiary images on their own don’t bring about change. What’s missing is power.

It's terrifying that some people are more concerned about black kids' "disrespect for authority" than cops' disrespect for their humanity.

embrace this opportunity to grow, to change, and to heal - time's up for systemic racism - the world needs to be a safe and supportive place for black, trans, queer, disabled, indigenous, femme folks - #showup #blm (h/t @MichelleSaahene) instagram.com/p/CBE7eu4Drbq/…

I’m excited to share that next week I’ll be joining the School of Interactive Computing at @GeorgiaTech as an Associate Professor! I’m also excited to be joining the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University via a courtesy faculty appointment. @ICatGT @EmoryRollins

In our latest report, @AriSchlesinger calls on governments to be realistic about what natural language processing can and can't do. It's dangerous to think #AI 'understands human emotions' with sentiment analysis given the risks of #bias. Read more here 👉 ow.ly/uiIs50vPgFP

In my 4th year of my PHD prog, my adviser, John Hagan, stopped me in the hallway. He said: "How's your dissertation proposal coming? You are talented, & promising. I am excited to read it." What a supportive way to hold me accountable and reaffirm my talents. – at Philadelphia, PA

This is a good reminder. I try to do it in all directions (more senior, peers-ish, junior to me). Someone told me at ASA that a paper I wrote was one of their favorite papers & it made me feel good for DAYS. If you're a prof with grad students it's arguably part of your job.

I’m currently at the point in writing where I’m asking myself “what even /is/ HCI?” This is the nadir. It’s all uphill from here But seriously what is HCI?

I literally built into my syllabus some "rest and health" assignments for my students. NO professor ever told me that taking care of myself was part of my success and well-being. SO...I plan to teach that this first semester @BrownUniversity
