Projects
Freelancing and Labor in the Digital Economy
This project is focused on gig-work or freelancing practices as we seek to better understand how such work fits in the career and work plans among freelance workers.
Building Everyday Resilience with Technology: Exacerbated Marginalization in Covid-19
This research project explores the experiences of historically marginalized populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Building Sustainable and Accessible Online Social Support for Stigmatized Populations
The goal of this project is to build an online social support site to address this problem, and measure the impact of participation in the site on clinical outcomes for people living with chronic conditions like HIV.
