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!
