Sarah Fox

I am an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Human Computer Interaction Institute, where I direct the Tech Solidarity Lab. My research focuses on how technological artifacts challenge or propagate social exclusions by examining existing systems and building alternatives. My work has earned awards in leading computing venues including ACM CSCW, CHI, and DIS, and has been featured in Design Issues, the Journal of Peer Production, and New Media and Society. Prior to CMU, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Communication and the Design Lab at the University of California, San Diego. I hold a Ph.D. in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington and have worked in design research at Microsoft Research, Google, and Intel Labs.
