I served as a humanities faculty representative on UO Senate from 2014-2016. During that time, I spearheaded successful legislation on data policy issues in concert with UO’s Chief Information Security Officer and our former VP for Information Services. I also worked with a team of fellow senators to craft legislation on a suite of curriculum policy issues. If elected, I look forward to returning to the Senate in September following my sabbatical break year. If elected, I will bring to the Senate a focus on enhanced institutional transparency and an attention to crafting legislation that is clear, fair, and equitable. My research focuses on issues of deliberative democracy, information privacy, and data politics.
