Amaka Peace Onebunne, from Nigeria, studies the evolving relationship between people, technologies, and institutions. Her work sits at the intersection of information systems, labor, culture, and power, where she draws on sociotechnical perspectives to examine the social consequences of algorithmic systems, platforms, generative AI, and other emerging technologies that shape everyday life and reinforce global asymmetries. She is particularly attentive to questions of data legitimacy, the social norms forming around automation and AI, and the hidden design choices that embed cultural assumptions, political logics, and economic imperatives, especially in understudied regions.

Before joining Temple, Peace earned her Master of Arts in Communication Studies from Northern Illinois University. She has worked as a field journalist for the Anambra State Ministry of Transportation, as a Senior Communications Specialist focused on corporate strategy, and with the Illinois Tutoring Initiative, a statewide education program supporting K–12 learners. She also leads HNDScholarsHub, a nonprofit initiative that helps Higher National Diploma (HND) holders access graduate education opportunities globally.

Her research has been published in several academic journals including the International Journal of Arts and Humanities, and the International Journal of Sub-Saharan African Research. Her work has also been featured in Vanguard, Punch, and The Guardian.
