My research asks: How do people make informed decisions in today’s digital media environment with growing concerns over mis/disinformation, structural inequalities, and contentious politics? My work focuses on: (1) identifying dissemination of and discourses around mis/disinformation on digital platforms; (2) examining efforts aimed at mitigating mis/disinformation, e.g., fact-checking, content moderation, social media skepticism, media literacy, and cross-racial solidarity building in the face of racialized disinformation; and (3) studying how the broader media ecology interacts with identity and social inequality in shaping misperceptions, policy preferences, and support for racial justice movements.
Methodologically, I use computational methods (natural language processing, machine learning, network mapping), experiments (quasi-experiment, web-based dynamic experiment), large-scale panel surveys, mixed-methods approaches, and work on the integration of textual, behavioral, and/or social geographical data.
My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, New Media & Society, Political Communication, Information, Communication & Society, Social Science & Medicine, Mass Communication and Society, and Social Media + Society.
