Dr. Trace’s teaching and research explored the history of the information professions and the intersection of archival work with emerging and cutting-edge technologies. Her recent work with Good Systems, a UT Grand Challenge, investigated information governance practices on algorithmic accountability and her current research project investigated information governance issues around smart camera use. Dr. Trace’s particular interest in the written record as a tool for accountability and transparency informed the development of a teaching curriculum that reimagined and prepared the informational professional for the digital age.
