24.7. About the Authors

Batya Friedman is a professor in the Information School and an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where she co-directs the Value Sensitive Design Research Laboratory. Dr. Friedman's research interests include human-computer interaction, especially human values in technology and design methodology. Her recent work has focused on informed consent, privacy, trust, and human dignity engaging such technologies as web browsers, urban simulation, robotics, open source, and location-enhanced computing.

Peyina Lin is a Ph.D. student in the Information School at the University of Washington, where she works in the Value Sensitive Design Research Laboratory. Ms. Lin holds an M.Sc. in information management (Syracuse University) and an M.A. in telecommunication digital media arts (Michigan State University). Her research investigates the impact of information technologies on community, sense of place, and value tradeoffs, such as privacy-security, and privacy-social awareness.

Jessica K. Miller is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where she works with Batya Friedman and Alan Borning in the Value Sensitive Design Research Laboratory. Ms. Miller is principally interested in human-computer interaction, and specifically how user-centered design methodologies can be used to develop technologies that impact social relationships such as the Internet, wearable computing devices, and pervasive computing.
