Samantha Dalal is a second-year PhDÌýstudent in the Information Science Department at CU Boulder. Her broader research examines algorithmically mediated work, specificallyÌýthe impacts of this type of work on laborers’ identity formation processes, well-beingÌýand ability to collectively organize. She uses mixed methods to identify how workers cope with algorithmic systems and how these systems can be better designed to support their work practices.
