Introducing the Editorial Board—Part I

Abstract

Publications are only as strong as the people who make them work. As part of this new chapter in IEEE Technology and Society Magazine (TSM), this is the first in a series of pieces to introduce the new associate editors who represent a powerhouse of knowledge on the social implications of technology and are leaders from across the many varied disciplines that the IEEE Society for the Social Implications of Technology (IEEE SSIT) encompasses. We hope the answers below highlight the ways in which the associate editors are both scholars and engaged citizens whose work aims to make positive change as it addresses (or transforms) harms related to social–technical relationships. Reading through the answers from the associate editors’ work and interests, what becomes clear is that seriously engaging with technology and society concepts leads to richer research projects and more meaningful ways in which to address technological and social problems.
