Stacey Wedlake is a Research Scientist with the Technology & Social Change Group at the University of Washington Information School. Her research focuses on the role of intermediaries such as public libraries, community organizations, and governments, in digital equity efforts. She has a particular interest in how these groups can best support individual and community digital literacy goals.
More recently, as part of the NSF-funded, Co-designing for Trust, Stacey has begun to explore how digital literacy resources can be better designed as community-oriented solutions to misinformation. Stacey works with a variety of community and academic partners and enjoys creating actionable outputs for practitioners.
Before coming to the Information School, Stacey taught basic computer skills with Peace Corps Mongolia, YWCA/WorkSource, and Seattle Central College. When not working, you can find Stacey chasing after her two small children around Seattle parks. She holds degrees in Public Administration (MPA) and Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the University of Washington and a bachelor’s degree in communication from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
