Media Effects

Extremism
The MEME lab studies mass media effects with a focuse on misinformation, conspiracy theories and extremism.
We employ a mixed-method approach, combining novel computational methods for text and network analysis with traditional quantitative and qualitative methods for social science research, including experiments, surveys, and time-series analysis.
Our members, interests, and work are diverse, inovative and multidisciplinary by design (we contain multitudes, as Walt Whitman said).
