About us
Our research covers public discourses, digital negotiation processes, toxic online communities, and disinformation, as well as media use in social media, games, and immersive virtual-reality environments—and their effects. We examine both the risks (e.g., polarization, cyberbullying, excessive use) and the opportunities (e.g., democratization, social support) of digital communication.
We work across the intersections of communication studies, psychology, empirical social science, and data science, combining qualitative methods, experimental designs, standardized surveys, computational approaches, and automated content analysis.
