Hi, I’m
Jasmine E. McNealy.
Public interest research at the intersection of people and technology.
I study how people and communities shape media and technology, and I work to guide law and policy toward more just outcomes. My work focuses on privacy, surveillance, and data governance, especially for those most affected by data-driven systems.
What I Focus On
Privacy
How information moves, who controls it, and what that means for everyday life.
Surveillance
Understanding the systems that watch, track, and sort us, along with the policies that enable them.
Data Governance
Helping organizations think more clearly and ethically about how they collect, store, and use data.
Communities
How people data and technology impacts people, and how people are and can re-envision and react to them.
These areas guide both my research and the collaborations I take on with people and organizations working toward more accountable technology.
About Me
My work centers on the relationships between people, communities,
and the technologies that influence
their lives.
I currently serve as a tenured professor at the University of Florida, and a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University.
My approach is shaped by training in journalism, Afro American studies, law, and social science. Across all of my work, my goal is to keep people and communities at the center of conversations about technology.
The Alveary
Through
, the strategy, research, and design firm I founded, I help organizations understand the social impact of emerging technology and the policies that shape it.
How I support teams
Research and analysis related to emerging media and technology
System and document reviews for privacy, governance, and community impact
Organizational consulting and thought partnership
Collaboration on policy design, prototypes, and frameworks
If your team is working on something that needs a people centered perspective, I would be glad to explore it with you.
