Faculty and students affiliated with the Department of Information Science at CU Boulder (across multiple other departments, including Computer Science and ATLAS) have published work associated with the CHI 2021 conference, the premiere venue for research in human-computer interaction, including 10 journal-equivalent papers. The conference is virtual this year, and...

After beginning college with an interest in studying data science, senior Clark Mousaw found that there was so much more to explore. Originally from Long Beach, California, Mousaw’s time in Boulder has allowed him to learn more about the human side of data, which relates to everything from design to politics. Soon, he’ll dive even deeper into the interdisciplinary field of Information Science by continuing his studies through CMCI’s master’s program in the fall. With a major in Information Science and a minor in Space, Mousaw is the Department of Information Science’s William W. White Outstanding Senior.

For the next chapter in her career, Assistant Professor Casey Fiesler––who studies technology ethics, internet law and policy, and online communities––will launch a five-year research project on ethical speculation in technology design. Her work will be supported by a $549,513 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation––one of the most prestigious awards given to faculty in the early phases of their careers.

Happy Graduate Student Appreciation Week from CMCI and CU Boulder!
