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:
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
