Feminist HCI & Natural Language Processing

About

I am a PhD student in the UKRI-funded CDT in Designing Responsible Natural Language Processing at the University of Edinburgh (2024–2028), supervised by Dr Tara Capel and Dr Lachlan D. Urquhart.

I am primarily interested in feminist interaction design and community-based human-computer interaction research.
