About
Michaelanne Dye's work uses ethnographic methods to study the social processes involved in digital engagements among under-represented groups in North and South America. Drawing on the fields of Anthropology and STS, she focuses specifically on (1) internet access in resource-constrained regions; (2) the design of citizen-led information systems; and (3) social media use for social change. Currently, she is investigating the ways people collaboratively innovate and make do amidst constraint and ongoing crises and the sociotechnical systems that emerge in these contexts.
