Stacey Wedlake, MLIS, MPA, is a Research Scientist with the Technology & Social Change Group (TASCHA) at the University of Washington Information School. Her research focuses on the role of intermediaries (public libraries, community organizations, and governments) in digital equity efforts. She has a particular interest in how these groups can best support individual and community digital literacy goals. More recently, as part of the National Science Foundation-funded project, Co-designing for Trust, she has begun to explore how digital literacy resources can be better designed as community-oriented solutions to misinformation. Wedlake brings a long history of works with a variety of community organizations, public libraries, and academic partners and enjoys creating actionable outputs for practitioners in library and information science. She holds master’s degrees in Public Administration and Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the University of Washington.
