Angela’s research is in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, and Information Sciences. Her current research explores how critical and intersectional theoretical lenses can inform the design of technologies to support historically marginalized groups, such as individuals of color and individuals experiencing homelessness, in pursuing sustainable, emancipatory transformations and socially responsible technology experiences. Through qualitative, participatory design methods, she seeks to co-construct knowledge, conscientization, and design interventions with my populations.
