Silencing the Voiceless: Social Media Content Moderation for At Risk Marginalized Populations in High-Stakes Violence and Human Rights Contexts in Nigeria
I am a PhD Candidate at University of Michigan's School of Information in Ann Arbor.
My research interests are at the intersections of content moderation, marginality, labor, AI, and human rights. I use qualitative methods to explore how marginalized populations experiencing high-stakes events utilize social media to construct alternative infrastructures of care. Within the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Social Computing, and through theoretical lenses of feminism and human rights, my research examines how the design of content moderation systems affects marginalized users, particularly when they document catastrophic experiences on social media.
I have published research papers supported by funding from the National Science Foundation in top HCI and Social Computing venues such as the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction and the ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work (GROUP).
