Hi! I’m Stuart, an Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Diego with appointments in the [Department of Communication](https://communication.ucsd.edu) and the [Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute](https://datascience.ucsd.edu). I am also affiliate faculty in [Computer Science & Engineering](https://cse.ucsd.edu), [Computational Social Science](https://css.ucsd.edu), and the [Institute for Practical Ethics](https://ipe.ucsd.edu), where I lead IPE's [Working Group on Data Governance & Accountability](https://ipe.ucsd.edu/research/data-science.html).

My work is on the social, cultural, political, and economic aspects of quantification, data science, automation, and AI. I have long focused on the role of AI in the governance and moderation of social media platforms and online communities, but I also care about issues like fairness, privacy, accountability, and labor in many application domains where AI is being deployed. Finally, I take the institutions of scientific and technological research as my object of study, asking how the disciplines and professions are changing around data science, automation, and AI.

Finally, I take the institutions of scientific and technological research as my object of study, asking how the disciplines and professions are changing around or by quantification, data science, automation, and AI.

## My work and research
I am an interpretive social scientist trained as an ethnographer, with a broad background in the humanities --- but I have just enough expertise in computer science and data science to make trouble. I consider myself a methodological and disciplinary pluralist, as I draw from and contribute to many different academic disciplines. I use a broad range of qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods to holistically investigate the role of science and technology in our society, culture, politics, and economy. I have a particular focus on decentralized communities and institutions, such as open source software, scientific research, peer production platforms (like Wikipedia), and social media sites.
