Contact Citizentech principal Crystal Cook Marshall.
Crystal Cook Marshall, MST, MFA, PhD investigates accessible technology and universal design for farmers and theorizes increased choice and responsiveness to "discarded" people and their needs.
Cook Marshall is the author of Big Rural: Rural Industrial Places, Democracy and What Next (Lexington Press, 2023).
In 2009, after setting up the model as executive director for the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media for greater ethical consideration in children’s media production, Cook Marshall pivoted to Science and Technology Studies to understand the role and philosophical consideration of scientists and engineers in the creation of economic sectors, and, to understand the ethical implications and imperatives for STEM practitioners in sector development. A driving question for her work was why in resource-rich regions, citizens often remain poor.
Cook Marshall has an undergraduate degree from Barnard College at Columbia University, master degrees from the New School for Social Research and Antioch University, and a PhD in Science and Technology Studies (STS) from Virginia Tech. Cook Marshall, for her PhD., was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow, and, also has been a Fulbright recipient.
