I am thrilled to have been selected for The HUMAN Residency Fellowship at Ragdale. Jurors elected artists Serena Dokuaa, GoldGrrl, Praba Pilar, Kate Reed, Özge Samanci, and Carissa Véliz as the recipients of the HUMAN Residency Fellowship.

Coming from a variety of disciplines, the fellows will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and questions of equity and social justice through their creative works.

The HUMAN Residency Fellowship at Ragdale is part of Lake Forest College's $1.2 million grant from the Mellon Foundation for HUMAN: Humanities Understanding of the Machine-Assisted Nexus, Benefiting from the interdisciplinary expertise of Lake Forest’s diverse faculty, the wider HUMAN grant aspires to navigate the rapidly evolving technological advancements connected to AI and automation through a humanities lens that is historical, practical, and attuned to questions of ethics and social justice. At the highest level, HUMAN seeks to demonstrate that unchecked AI and automation can replicate and exacerbate social inequity, and disproportionally impact marginalized populations.
