 I'm Amanda Clark, Assistant Professor and Public Affairs Research Excellence Chair at Carleton University. My research looks at how democratic governance is changing in the digital age. I hope to better understand how we can leverage digital technologies and approaches to solve complex social challenges. I'm also trying to help policymakers more effectively regulate and manage new technologies to ensure they don't exacerbate existing or fuel new social challenges. Much of my work in this area explores the relationships between governments, private tech firms, civil society groups, and individual citizens. The goal really is to uncover and prevent the coordination and accountability gaps that can arise when we look to decentralize network models of social problem solving. These arrangements are increasingly favored in the digital age and we need a lot more research to understand how to design and work with these networks more effectively.
