Alice Fox

Alice Fox is a Lecturer in the Department of Science, Technology and Society at Stanford University, specializing in socio-technical systems research through post-phenomenological and post-humanist lenses. Her interdisciplinary work merges theories from Constructed Grounded Theory and Thinking with Theory to address complex societal-technological interactions.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) from Virginia Tech (2023)
• M.Sc. in Philosophy of Science, Technology, and Society from University of Twente (2018)
• B.A. in Philosophy from Ohio Northern University (2015)

Research focuses on critical analysis of socio-technical artifacts, with applications in disability studies and digital gaming culture. She develops pedagogical approaches that challenge traditional technology-society binaries while examining power dynamics in emerging systems. Her methodology emphasizes collaborative cross-disciplinary problem-solving for multi-dimensional societal challenges.

Teaching philosophy centers on critical pedagogy to cultivate analytical compassion in students through courses like Introduction to STS and Technology & Disability. Outside academia, she engages in analog/digital gaming, quilting, and gardening with her dog Nightshade.
