Following up on my previous post, I am pleased to introduce Katie Shilton
(US) and Henry Warwick (CA/US) as the guest discussants for our first week.
Katie Shilton is an assistant professor in the College of Information
Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her research explores
ethics and policy for the design of information collections, systems and
technologies. Current research projects include an investigation of ethics
in mobile application development; a project focused on the values and
policy implications of Named Data Networking, a new approach to Internet
architecture; surveys of consumer privacy expectations in the mobile data
ecosystem; and investigating researchers’ ethical beliefs and practices
when using online open data sets. Her work has been supported by a Google
Faculty Award and several awards from the U.S. National Science Foundation,
including an NSF CAREER award. Katie received a B.A. from Oberlin College,
a Master of Library and Information Science from UCLA, and a Ph.D. in
Information Studies from UCLA.
Henry Warwick is an artist, composer, writer, and assistant professor in
the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University in Toronto, and research
fellow at the Infoscape Lab at Ryerson. He has an MFA from Goddard College
in Interdisciplinary Art, and a PhD in Communications from the European
Graduate School. To keep himself sane, he composes electronic music and
DJ’s an eclectic radio show.
