Biography

Jodi Schneider is an associate professor of information sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she directs the Information Quality Lab. She studies the science of science through the lens of arguments, evidence, and persuasion. Her long-term research agenda analyzes controversies applying science to public policy; how knowledge brokers influence citizens; and whether controversies are sustained by citizens’ disparate interpretations of scientific evidence and its quality. She holds affiliate appointments in the Beckman Institute, Health Care Engineering Systems Center, European Union Center, Informatics, Center for Health Informatics, and Cline Center for Advanced Social Research. She also has external affiliations with the University of Illinois Chicago School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Department of Biomedical Informatics. Her work has been funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the European Commission, IMLS, NIH, ORI, Science Foundation Ireland, and an NSF CAREER award.

Schneider completed her PhD in informatics at the National University of Ireland, Galway ("Enabling reuse of arguments and opinions from online social disputes") and has degrees in library and information science (M.S. UIUC), mathematics (M.A. UT-Austin), and liberal arts (B.A., Great Books, St. John's College). She has worked as an actuarial analyst for a Fortune 500 insurance company, as the gift buyer for a small independent bookstore, and in several positions at college and university libraries. She has also held research positions across the U.S. as well as in Ireland, England, France, and Chile.
