Dr Clara Crivellaro

Reader in Digital Social Justice

  • Personal Website:
Background

I am Reader (Associate Professor) in digital social justice at the School of Computing’s Open Lab, with expertise in Human-Computer Interaction, Digital Civics, Human-Centre Design, Participatory Design, and co-creation.

Prior to my current role, I was Senior Research Fellow in Digital Local Democracy and held a post-doc position at Open Lab working on the EPSRC-funded MyPlace project. I obtained my PhD in Computing at 缅北禁地. I obtained my PhD in Human-Computer Interaction at 缅北禁地. My PhD explored the design of participatory socio-technical processes to support social activism in the everyday politics of place.

Before joining academia, I worked as a Socially Engaged Art practitioner on various initiatives and projects in the creative and cultural sector in the UK and Europe. I have an MA of Arts in Curatorial practice and a BA (hons) in Arts & Design.


Research

My research explores how the careful design of new and emergent technologies and socio-technical processes can help support democratic practices and advance equity and social justice in digital societies. Key research areas include, designing for social activism and social justice through co-production of digital services and digital social innovations; data-driven innovations to help explore systemic issues and shape policy; embedding social justice and public values in the design of socio-technical systems. I am also interested in the design of novel tools and processes to support Responsible Research and Innovation in Computing and civic-driven research commissioning processes.


I am currently Co-Investigator on the EPSRC Centre for Digital Citizens – Next Stage Digital Economy Centre, where I contribute research on co-creation and algorithmic social justice.

I am Co-Investigator on the EPRSC Hydrogen Integration for Accelerated Energy Transitions (HI-ACT), where I contribute novel civic engagements with energy futures for just transitions.


I was the Principal Investigator and Director of Not-Equal, the EPSRC Network+ on Social Justice through the Digital Economy (2018-2022), which fostered 18 cross-disciplinarity and cross-sectoral collaborations exploring Algorithmic Social Justice, equity in digital security and fairness in sharing economies. I was co-investigator on the co-investigator of the EPSRC Digital Economy Research Center(DERC, 2015-2022); and the H2020 Generative European Urban Commons, gE.CO (2019-2022), which developed socio-technical toolkits to support communing processes.


I am a co-founding member of OLAthens, a cooperative that supports solidarity movements’ social innovations in Greece.


My publications have received ACM best paper awards and honourable mentions for research likely to shape the future of computing. For full list of publications see my Google Scholar profile .
