It was a pleasure to speak this week with Rod Graham, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, about my Social Cybersecurity research and my lifelong journey to Carnegie Mellon University. We also talked a fair amount about Zen Buddhism – it turns out he and I have that in common, too. Small world!

My ideas for ‘Theory-Driven Interface Design Strategies to Address ‘False News’ on Social Media’
I have enjoyed my work for the past two years on our Social Cybersecurity project at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Building on my news and social media background, I’ve also been working on some specific ideas for design strategies to address viral hoaxes, rumors and disinformation/misinformation in social computing systems. Many thanks to HCI faculty Niki Kittur and Geoff Kaufman for providing ideas for prior work to incorporate into these strategies, and to Kathleen M. Carley for her perspective as a computational sociologist.
Today I will debut these for the first time in public and speak with people from the Knight Foundation about some of my ideas. Onward!
