Hi! My name is Jacob Thebault-Spieker, but feel free to call me Jake. I use he/him/his pronouns. I'm a new Assistant Professor in the iSchool, starting this fall! Broadly I study how, why, and in which contexts biases occur in online social communities, and I build and experiment with new social computing systems to help mitigate these biases. I'm currently looking work with students on these issues, so please reach out! I teach LIS201: The Information Society, and I'm sure other courses in the future! Welcome, and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
