About Me
Stephanie T Jones
My Great Grandmother, Sweet Tissue King, was a one room school teacher in 1920’s Georgia after being born to formerly enslaved and cotton share cropper parents. What does it mean to come from a legacy of people who fought to learn and teach?
I am a 5th year Computer Science and Learning Science PhD Candidate at Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy. My pronouns are they/she.
My current research interests, as a part of the tiilt lab (technological innovations for inclusive learning and teaching) with Professor Marcelo Worlsey include intergenerational learning opportunities (key words: making, equity, teaching), building technologies that are personally relevant ( key words: sports, wearables, virtual reality), and the relationship between anti-Blackness, learning, and computing (key words: algorithms, race, technology).
I can often be found asking questions or laughing at my own jokes.
