I'm interested in the design of community technologies that support norms of conversational engagement about controversial subjects, hopefully in favor of a more creative and dynamic society.

Current Projects

UrbanSim: I'm currently working on creating environmental indicators for UrbanSim. UrbanSim, as its name implies, is a simulation system that models urban processes. It is intended to be used as a tool for establishing public policy for planning cities (and it has been deployed in quite a few areas). UrbanSim is at an exciting point in its development, where the infrastructure is being laid for it to be used by common citizens, not just urban planners.
