Bio

Oluwakemi Ola, PhD is an Associate Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, with over 15 years of experience in human-computer interaction, information visualization, and pedagogy research. Primarily focused on how we teach ethics-informed and justice-driven computing practices, she spends her time working within the SIGCSE community to enact change. I teach. I tell stories. I sing. I build communities. I ask hard questions. I critically assess teaching practices to improve learning outcomes. I was briefly involved with the first AfriCHI, 10 years ago as a graduate student. I am a board member of SIGCSE and typically publish at its conferences.
