At the Connected Experience (CoEx) Lab
As a Research Associate in the CoEx Lab, my primary project has been an empirical qualitative study analyzing diversity and inclusion in open source. By interviewing 'core' contributors to open source projects, we've noticed some differences between the career trajectories of men and women & non-binary contributors. For this project, I've screened 4000+ users, recruited and interviewed 21 participants, created a coding scheme following grounded theory, and first-authored a paper currently under review.
I've also worked on several additional projects as part of my role in the CoEx lab. I've designed bot interventions on Github seeking to aid first-time contributors, analyzed the unique experiences of BIPOC in open source communities, studied the maintainer influence on project diversity and newcomer retention, and analyzed conversations in Github regarding codes of conduct and governance.
