Research Interests: I research various designs for improving equity through education. For example, my recently completed project, funded by U.S. Department of Justice, was for social justice among immigrant women and children through culturally sustaining design in gamified simulations. My newest NSF project is about science teacher learning to teach scientific writing and we are using NLP techniques to design automated scaffolding for *all* students. Research keywords: ethical and equitable use of AI in education; teacher learning; K-12 school outreach; STEM education

Priya Kumar
- Assistant Professor
- CSRAI Affiliate
Department/Unit: College of Information Sciences and Technology
Email: priya.kumar@psu.edu
Research Interests: Dr. Priya Kumar studies how privacy and agency operate when everyday life is datafied. She draws on theories and qualitative methods from social computing, digital media studies, and science and technology studies to critically examine how certain kinds of technology use come to be treated as problematic, particularly in the context of childhood and parenting. Her research aims to shift digital technology discourse and design away from a focus on individual control and toward more networked understandings of privacy and agency.
