Introduction

I study technology users, technology design, and technology governance in global health and information technology.
    Recently, I have written a book on how technology discriminates against people of color, with an emphasis on African-American history and engineering design. This book would be useful to students in an engineering ethics or engineering design course.
    My dissertation research was an ethnography of community ophthalmology as a socio-technical system in the Global South (funded by multiple agencies e.g., CAORC, NSF, Smithsonian, etc.). In the resulting book, Eradicating Blindness: Global Health Innovation from South Asia (Palgrave Macmillan), I contribute the dual regime thesis to the multi-level perspective on socio-technical system transitions.
    Also during my dissertation, I became more interested in community-engaged, participatory research methods. I used one such method called 
Photo Voice to conduct research with blind and low vision participants answering a question about how they use technology every day.
    Currently, I am an independent scholar and consultant. In 2022, I ended service to my discipline as an Associate Editor for the journal Science as Culture and the US Book Review Editor for the journal Science, Technology and Society. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science at Michigan State University and a Lecturer at University of Maryland.
   Overall, I am interested in knowledge and innovation by (and from) the marginalized, and have previously convened an NSF-sponsored conference and network of scholars around this topic. Below is my one page curriculum vitae.

Keywords: Uneven Development, Epistemic oppression, Undone Science, Undone Technology, Structural Inequality, Inclusive Innovation, Strong Objectivity, Justice, Counter-Expertise
