As Associate Dean for Academics, I am one of the iSchool's Title IX Officials Required to Report. If I learn of sex/gender-based violence, harassment, or discrimination, I am required to submit a report to UW's Title IX office, including any names or details I have. This does not trigger an investigation; case managers will reach out to victims with supportive measures, resources, and how to submit a formal complaint. If you're unsure whether to reach out to me I recommend contacting a UW confidential advocate; they are confidential and trained, and can help you decide what action to take next.

There are many ways to reach me:

A photograph of my office.
Office hoursโ€” If you're a current UW student, contact me via one of the channels below to see if a meeting makes sense. If you're in one my classes, see the syllabus for my course office hours. If you're not a UW student, write me an email; we'll meet if appropriate.
The UW block logo.
Emailโ€” I primarily use email to communicate with people I don't know and occasionally with collaborators who refuse to use anything else. If you're a student, a potential collaborator, or anyone else, write me an email to connect. I read email once in the morning each weekday. I don't read on weekends unless I'm super engaged on a project.
The Slack logo.
Slackโ€” Slack is my preferred medium for collaboration with my Ph.D. students and other collaborators at UW and beyond. During the work day I treat Slack like instant messaging, and after hours I treat it like email, reading it in the morning. If you're at UW, join one of the Slacks and DM me. I'm usually pretty responsive throughout the day.
The Twitter logo.
Twitterโ€” I used to be fairly active on Twitter, but mostly left in June 2022. I still broadcast writing, amplify others, and respond to DMs, but I'm generally not posting otherwise. You can also find me on Mastodon @amyjko@hci.social or Threads @amyjensenko.
The Github logo.
GitHubโ€” I host a lot of my content and software projects on GitHub. Feel free to submit issues and pull requests to my various repositories.
The LinkedIn logo.
LinkedInโ€” I use LinkedIn as my primary contact manager. I usually only accept connections from people I've met IRL and have a professional relationship with (students, collaborators, professional colleagues). I read my LinkedIn messages as part of my morning email routine.
The Facebook logo.
Facebookโ€” I primarily use Facebook for non-work relationships (though that boundary is blurry). I usually only accept connections from people I've met IRL and have a social relationship with, so if I have a purely professional relationship with you, please don't be offended if I decline your friend request. Add me on LinkedIn instead.
A telephone.
Phoneโ€” Don't call me on the phone. They never come at the right time, I'm rarely in my office when you want to reach me. Write me on one of the platforms above first and we can schedule a call if necessary. If you leave a voicemail, I will get it eventually.
