About

ICED Labs

ICED Labs exists to investigate the infrastructure and ecology connected with the technology deployed within several contexts. ICED Labs investigates failure and impact, and the implications of the actions of organizations, governments and private actors. Currently colocated at the University of Florida, ICED Labs was founded and is convened by Dr. Jasmine McNealy.

Why “labs”?

ICED Labs consists of several projects under one umbrella.
