Home - Grace Jennings

I am a researcher interested in how data-driven algorithmic systems shape social systems and public discourse. I want to inform more equitable and aligned systems that support the diversity of human experience and thought. Currently, I am a first-year PhD Student at the UC Berkeley School of Information. Recently, I was at the Computational Social Sciences Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, under Professor Duncan Watts.

I have benefited from some great mentors in my career and want to pass it on. So, if it looks like I may be able to help or get you connected or you want to collaborate in any way, send me an email (grace.e.jennnings [at] berkeley [dot] edu)!
