danah boyd is currently developing online communities for V-Day, a non-profit working to end violence against women and girls worldwide. Prior to that, she was a graduate student with Dr. Judith Donath in the Sociable Media Group at MIT's Media Lab. Her work focused on developing identity management tools and interactive personal visualizations to encourage users to reflect on their digital presence. Her previous work at Brown combined computer graphics, gender theory, and visual perception; she has also worked as a software engineer, an educator and an ethnographer. Ultimately, danah is interested in using technology to empower individuals.
