Nabila Cruz
Postgraduate Researcher, Writer and Zinester
About
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Sheffield working in critical AI studies. With a background in information science, I worked in information management and research support in libraries and universities throughout my career. I have experience in teaching university students, training researchers and leading workshops. When I get some free time, I make zines, write short stories and go hiking.
Research
My PhD project investigates how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) might affect young adults' trust in the news. I also work as a research associate in other projects, such as in the Creative Library Project.
