Bio
Dr Kate Miltner is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Data, AI, and Society at the School of Information, Journalism, and Communication at the University of Sheffield. Previously, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellow at The University of Edinburgh. Her research explores issues of power and inequality in digital systems, institutions, and cultures. It examines how, and in what forms, power circulates through digital ecosystems, how structural inequalities are (re)produced within and across digital contexts, and how power and inequality shape what happens – and for whom – in digital spaces. Kate has had research appointments at Twitter, Microsoft Research New England, and the University of Amsterdam. She was a 2018 Joint Fellow at the UC Berkeley Center for Technology, Society and Policy and the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. Before her academic career, Kate worked in social media strategy and advertising in New York, Los Angeles, and London.
