Shortly after her successful PhD defence, Dr. Alexi Orchard took up a position as Assistant Teaching Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Idzik Computing and Digital Technologies Minor at the University of Notre Dame. She was kind enough to agree to an interview for Words in Place about her experience of our graduate program and how it led to her current position.
Now at the University of Notre Dame, I teach courses that focus on the ethics of technology, computing design, and generative AI. ... A lot of the ideas and work worth pursuing need multiple kinds of perspectives, and educators, researchers, professionals, (etc., you name it!) should have an open mind beyond their own domains.
