Lindsay Rodgers

Lindsay Rodgers is the Advisor, Knowledge Mobilization at Concordia University’s Applied AI Institute where she facilitates interdisciplinary research and brings an intersectional feminist analysis to bear on AI systems—their development and deployment. She works to increase gender diversity through focused research and programming, including the working group Affecting Machines. Prior to this role, she completed a PhD at Queen’s University, performing an interdisciplinary analysis of the discursive structures and affective politics of stand-up comedy and shared laughter. She is a member of the Hysterics Collective, has experience in qualitative and participatory action-based research methods, and is always thinking of the interpretive frameworks we use to make sense of our experiences.
