She's formerly a Full Professor of Computer Science at Spelman College (2019-2023), where she served as Chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences from 2016 to 2018 as an Associate Professor of Computer Science. Starting in September 2019, Marshall is a faculty associate at Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. Additionally, in 2021-2022, she was a Practitioner Fellow at the Stanford Program on AI and Civil Society (PACS). Marshall has also worked to broaden participation in the field of data science to increase representation of underrepresented minorities, including her effort 'Black Women in Data'. Marshall's 2022 book, Data Conscience: Algorithmic Siege on Our Humanity, explores the role of data in shaping social equality and examines how bias in software, algorithms, and data structures can reinforce discrimination. The book also calls for greater accountability and ethical considerations in data science, advocating for more inclusive and responsible technological practices.
