Srijan Pandey

Srijan (Sri) Pandey (they/she/he) is a doctoral researcher in the Information School pursuing a minor in design and gender studies. Their work sits at the intersection of human–AI interaction, critical data and AI ethics and justice through care and community engagement. Pandey’s research interrogates how algorithmic socio-technical systems mediate the lived experiences of marginalized communities, particularly in global South contexts, and explores how participatory and feminist methodologies can reconfigure these systems toward more equitable and accountable futures. Their scholarship builds on design justice, queer technologies, feminist technoscience and data feminism. It centers collective liberation and the lived experiences of the marginalized through a desire-centered approach that foregrounds care, sustainability and intersectional justice as essential to reimagining policy and infrastructural governance. Beyond academia, Pandey is actively engaged in spaces of collective expression and political resistance, and draws creative sustenance from live music, dance, visual art and grassroots activism.
