R. Michelle Green's research program for the better part of a decade examines why adults embrace or reject Information Technology (IT), focusing most frequently on psycho-social precursors. She is particularly concerned with the ramifications of technological inequity faced by those who are poor, older, or disadvantaged. Her mixed method dissertation examined personality and life span predictors of digital fluency (i.e., the ability to use IT tools critically and effectively), demonstrating that many hindrances to IT use are invisible not only to the IT novice but also to others. In July of 2006, she joined Hampshire College in Massachusetts as Dean of Student Services, where she is responsible for all non-academic aspects of Hampshire collegiate life. She is also Visiting Faculty in Hampshire’s School of Cognitive Science. She is also a championship bridge player, ranked as Life Master in two national leagues.
