Dr. Jasmine Jones

I take an interdisciplinary approach to understand how human values and priorities are incorporated into the design and use of new technologies, and likewise how emerging computing technologies shape our ways of life. My research in “human-centered computing” has explored digitally-mediated collective remembering and multi-generational storytelling, self-tracking for recovery and wellness, and cultural values in design. In my teaching, I specialize in experiential learning, including community-engaged service-learning, project-based curricula, undergraduate research, and cross-cultural faculty-led travel. I am the founding faculty director of the Berea College Makerspace, a collaborative STEAM workspace facilitating student-led educational and creative initiatives.
