    I co-authored a paper examining traps that tech folks encounter when building "fair" algorithms. It's an STS-oriented approach to technical decision-making (written with CS/law folks). Check it out: "Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems"

    This piece does a great job showing why far-right celebs are so obsessed with demanding debate from actual researchers, writers, and politicians. Instead of building sound arguments, they can create (extremely lucrative) theater.
