From Dissertation Research to Black-Liberation.Tech
In April 2023, Dr. Jordan received the Outstanding Dissertation in Learning Technologies Award from the Department of Learning Sciences, College of Education & Human Development at GSU. The title of her dissertation was Digital Tales from the Cutting-Room Floor: Learning How to Design Instruction from Latinas, Afro-Latinas, and Black Women in Tech. 

As an outcome of her dissertation work and a product of Jordan Nuance LLC, Dr. Jordan launched Black-Liberation.Tech, an Open Educational Resource (OER) and learning ecosystem. Through storytelling, educational resources, and community-centered learning, Black-Liberation.Tech supports girls and women in developing digital literacies, AI literacy, academic and career confidence, and greater agency within the technology landscape.
​
Black-Liberation.Tech provides a learner- and community-facing extension of the broader Jordan Nuance LLC mission, with particular attention to the experiences and possibilities of Latinas, Afro-Latinas, Black women and girls.

Our Mission

Jordan Nuance LLC’s mission is to expand people’s capacity to learn, lead, and create with technology while advancing culturally relevant and ethically grounded approaches to AI learning and implementation.

We pursue this mission by partnering with organizations and educators to develop the knowledge, learning experiences, and strategies their people need to navigate technological change with greater clarity, confidence, and agency.

Our work maintains a particular commitment to Latinas, Afro-Latinas, Black women and girls and to the educators, programs, and organizations creating opportunities with and for these communities.
​
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to expanding access to technology learning while creating spaces where knowledge is collaborative, culturally relevant, and community-centered. We want people not simply to adapt to technological change, but to develop the knowledge and agency to question it, shape it, and determine how it can serve their goals and communities.

Our Philosophy

At Jordan Nuance LLC, our philosophy is rooted in learning, agency, community, and liberation. We believe technology education should help people develop not only technical capability, but also the judgment to decide when, why, and how technology should be used.

Learning is not a one-way transaction. It is a shared process shaped by experience, culture, reflection, experimentation, and community. Our approach creates opportunities for participants to connect new knowledge with what they already know, apply learning within real contexts, and remain active participants in determining what meaningful technology use looks like for them.

We are especially committed to learning environments in which Latinas, Afro-Latinas, Black women and girls can see their knowledge, experiences, creativity, and possibilities reflected in the technology landscape.

Central to our philosophy is the idea of AI as a thinking partner—not a substitute for human learning, creativity, expertise, or judgment. AI can help people explore possibilities, ask stronger questions, reduce unnecessary cognitive load, examine ideas from different perspectives, and refine their thinking. The person remains responsible for evaluating what AI produces and deciding what deserves to be used, challenged, revised, or rejected.
​
Our approach is grounded in privacy, transparency, fairness, and liberation—using AI not simply because it is available, but thoughtfully and purposefully in ways that strengthen human agency, learning, and community.
