Well, I can officially announce I’ve received an NSF CAREER award to do my life’s work. “Designing, Developing, and Evaluating Consent Technologies to Reduce Unwanted Interpersonal Behavior.” Excited to do this work at @UMFlint!

#CHI2025 has officially ended and I couldn’t be prouder of my students for representing @UMF_CIT at their very first research conference! They won an Honorable Mention award for their paper on affirmative consent and competed in the student design competition.

Delighted that our #chi2025 paper on affirmative consent won an Honorable Mention award! This whole paper came about from an audience question at CHI 2023 while presenting some of our other research on sexual consent technology. Pre-print:

Affirmative consent is dead—according to our latest #CHI2025 paper. "Yes Means Yes" sounds simple, but when we asked users how it should actually work in VR and online dating to prevent unwanted behavior, they told us: it doesn’t. Pre-print:

Ever wonder/worry about the role of generative AI in nonconsensual sexual activity? I collaborated with some wonderful people on a commentary piece for the journal Family Relations that is out now!

We had an inspiring, insightful, and even hilarious panel on “New Opportunities, Risks, and Harm of Generative AI for Fostering Safe Online Communities” at #Group2025. 🌟 The conversation continued with lively discussions during the poster reception. Great energy and ideas!#ACM

With #cscw2024 now behind us, I can say my favorite memory was watching @mah_alizadeh present her work about algorithmic harms on Tinder. She’s worked so hard on this research, and we finally had the opportunity to celebrate it in Costa Rica!

3 of our undergrad researchers at @UMFlint have their first poster publication at @ACM_CSCW next month on social cross-reality harm in VR dating. Harm within VR is well documented, but what about harm that traverses VR into the physical world? Pre-print:

Proud of @IshaD_pickle for her first 1st-author paper at CSCW next month! She used participatory model building of risk detection AI with online daters and found that women want…biased and subjective AI assessment of risk??? Pre-print:

Been two weeks since the first cohort of our @NSF REU site on digital accessibility ended and I think…this hand painted portrait of my pug Goblin is the greatest gift I’ve ever received. We look at it everyday in our living room!
