UX · Anthropology · Conversational AI

Hi, I'm Liz Rodwell, a User Experience (UX) researcher, anthropologist, and an associate professor in the Digital Media program at the University of Houston. I study the experts who create and use technology in professional environments with a focus on how technology shapes our social worlds. I'm currently working on studying the intersection of Conversational AI and UX.

I'm also founding director of the University of Houston UX Lab and program within Digital Media.
