I’m Blair (she/they). I think about the governance of artificial intelligence through a trans lens.

My research addresses challenges of power, participation, and justice in AI governance systems.

I teach students, professionals, executives, public servants, and communities about AI policy & ethics.

I create experimental sci-fi, glitch art, and surreal worlds that expose frictions between gender, technology, and regulation.

I recently completed my PhD at University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information. My PhD research was funded by a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship and three Ontario Graduate Scholarships.

I have a dog named Huxley and many nameless houseplants.

Email me for questions and comments, research/work/speaking opportunities, or anything else.

I am on vacation throughout May 2025 before beginning a new role. During this time, I may be slow to respond to emails.
