Join the TRAILS researchers for a Zoom talk from Dr. Bradies Marshall.

Dr. Bradies Marshall is a TRAILS Institute data scientist, CEO of DataedX, leader of Black Women in Data, and former Full Professor of Computer Science at Spelman College. Trained as a computer scientist and as a former college professor, Brandeis teaches, speaks and writes about the racial, gender, socioeconomic and socio-technical impact of data operations on technology and society. She wrote Data Conscience: Algorithmic Siege on our Humanity (Wiley, 2022) as a counter-argument reference for tech’s move fast and break things philosophy. She pinpoints, guides and recommends paths to moving slower and building more responsible human-centered AI approaches. With Dr. Carlotta Berry, Brandies recently co-edited an upcoming book, “Mitigating Bias in Machine Learning” with McGraw-Hill.

Brandeis centers her work and impact on making data and AI concepts snackable to understand for practical implementation from the classroom to the boardroom. As co-lead of the Atlanta Interdisciplinary AI Network, Brandeis is developing data citizens through humanities-centered critical data literacy community workshops and supporting new AI researchers, who are grounded in humanistic inquiry. 

Brandeis holds a Ph.D. and Master of Science in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Rochester. She has been a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, Stanford PACS Practitioner Fellow and Partner Research Fellow at Siegel Family Endowment. She has served as an assistant professor at Purdue University and then associate and full professor at Spelman College.
