It’s amusingly difficult for me to write professional biographies, especially for print publications. Not only do I have a hard time reducing my career to the paragraph you’re usually allowed, at some level it feels like it forces me to reify my identity. Nonetheless, it has to be done; right now, I’m on the hook for bios both for the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy program committee<\/a> and an upcoming book chapter on computer science as a social science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So here’s a stab at it … feedback, please!<\/p>\n

Update, 3\/27<\/font>: revised substantially after great feedback. Original version in the comments. Thanks all!\u00c2\u00a0 Additional minor edits on 3\/29.<\/p>\n

Jon Pincus’ current professional projects include Tales from the Net<\/a> (a book on social networks co-authored with Deborah Pierce), starting a strategy consulting practice, and blogging at Liminal States<\/a> and elsewhere. Previous work includes leading the Ad Astra project as General Manger for Strategy Development in Microsoft’s Online Services Group; creating the static analysis tools PREfix and PREfast (now available in Visual Studio) at his startup Intrinsa and then at Microsoft Research; security planning with the Windows Security Push and XPSP2 task forces; and the National Academies\/CSTB panel “Sufficient Evidence?” His primary research interests relate to recasting the field of computer science as a social science. In addition to the applications of this lens to security discussed here, other social science approaches embodied in Ad Astra and the earlier Project Fabulous include asset-based thinking, narratology, cognitive diversity, intersectionality, philosophy of technoscience, oppression theory, and hot pink beanbag chairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
