Purdom Lindblad is the Assistant Director for Innovation and Learning at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland. Her work is focused on the implicit and explicit effort that digital humanities can do for social, cultural, and environmental justice. Applying principles from Feminist Interface Design, Purdom and her Scholars’ Lab colleague Jeremy Boggs, explore how the process of feature development and public documentation shape the experience of users and render the theoretical underpinnings of digital work more accessible.
