My name is Bryce. I'm an assistant professor of media and communication studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I have a PhD in Communication and Society from the University of Oregon, where I received graduate certificates in Women's & Gender Studies and New Media & Culture. I have an MA in Cultural Production (Anthropology/Philosophy) from Brandeis University and a BMus in Music Performance from Eastern Illinois University.

I am deeply committed to equality and the inclusion of women in open knowledge, traditionally dominated by histories of white men written by other white men (for use by… white men). This includes adding articles about women into Wikipedia itself, and facilitating events where diverse users outside of the Wikipedian demographic can learn to edit articles on Wikipedia in a safe space.

I am currently on the international advisory board for Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. Previously, I was the webmistress for Fembot Collective and sat on the advisory board for Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology. I also wrote for the men's feminist satire/humor site Modern Primate.

I spend my spare time editing wikipedia, learning new board games, and playing upright bass.
