SESSION 2
Polarization and Identity in the Public Sphere
Focus
- Polarization
- Identity
- Listening Technologies
Our lab develops methods…
for large scale analysis of social media and news. Our research interests include tribal network structure and dynamics, the spread of false and true news, and development of health metrics for the public sphere.
We are beginning new research on listening technologies to support situated deep listening with the aim of surfacing voices that are not heard through public social media or traditional polling.
