Here she goes again: Marnie Hughes Warrington’s new journey

The indefatigably inquisitive Marnie Hughes Warrington is starting a new adventure.

For years, she discussed as she discovered the administrative assumptions that shape the way universities, in her case ANU, are managed in her blog. Then she found fascination in the design and engineering, the environmental and human planning required to rebuild much of the ANU campus.

And now she steps down in physical scale and up in ideas, announcing a new narrative, the information and ideas she will explore for a new project, historicising artificial intelligence –examining how computing has always been constructed by issues of politics and social power, gender and justice, or the lack of it. “Computing is riddled with assumptions about history, and the nature of history, and these assumptions can have serious consequences and even cause harm if they are not held in check,” she writes in her invitation to join her journey.
