Biography

Morgan Wofford is a Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholar in the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research examines how open data infrastructures shape the production, circulation, and trustworthiness of knowledge. Her work focuses on the socio-technical dimensions of data curation, governance, and reuse, with particular attention to how openness is enacted in practice across different communities. Drawing on library and information science and science and technology studies (STS), she studies how infrastructural design choices embed values, enable or constrain participation, and influence equity and legitimacy in scientific and public knowledge systems.
