    Overview

    Dr. Oakley's research interests include examining the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in helping organizations achieve social goals that benefit society and examining the impact of emerging technology on human behavior. She is also part of a team that was awarded approximately $400K in a National Science Foundation 3-year targeted infusion project grant to develop Interdisciplinary Data Analytics Certificate program at Savannah State University (her former institution). She has published her research in top-ranked IS journals and has presented her research at numerous regional, national, and international IS conferences.

    Dr. Oakley is also actively involved in various service activities. She is a faculty mentor for the McNair Scholars program and is working with an undergraduate student on research examining user perceptions of disinformation in social media. For over 8 years, she has worked closely with KPMG’s Ph.D. Project, specifically with the Information Systems Doctoral Student Association (ISDSA) where she now currently serves as a Faculty Advisor. Dr. Oakley also serves with the Association for Information Systems (AIS), Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), and Technologists of Color (ToC).
