Responsible DS + AI Speaker Series: Allison Morgan, Twitter
Allison Morgan, a data scientist at Twitter, will give the talk, "Faculty hiring, social class, and epistemic inequality."
Allison Morgan is interested in using causal inference and network science, joining surveys with big data, and studying fairness and social inequality by building systems. Her research has measured the structural factors that drive a lack of diversity in science and highlighted their consequences. She earned her PhD in Computer Science at University of Colorado, Boulder, where she was supported by the NSF GRFP. Her research has been published in PNAS and Science Advances, and covered by outlets such as The Washington Post and Scientific American.
