To any academic working on algorithmic accountability whom I've offended with my NYTimes piece today: I know you're working hard, against the odds. I'm trying to make the point that you deserve *much more support*. The tech companies are absolutely more powerful than we are.
You are in luck: there is a distinct field that does this — Science and Technology Studies. Please check it out. There are academic programs globally, with PhDs, MAs, etc. http://stsnext20.org/stsworld/ pic.twitter.com/HwUAgvrgxM

FWIW, I carved out much of the S&T studies elements these other programs have in my Science & Technology Policy MA at George Washington University's Elliott School
