Public Health Messaging

The project is a study of the extent to which message content consistency among federal and state public health agencies is associated with the diffusion of discordant information on social media and whether or not compliance with public health recommendations is related with message content consistency.

DISES

The project combines computational social science, ecohydrological measurements, and ethnographic fieldwork to derive spatially-integrated models to understand the environmental and sociocultural impacts on water resilience in northern New Mexico acequia communities.

ECE-WisCom

We are following a cohort of electrical engineering students who engage in a new mixed reality learning platform (which we are also developing as part of the grant) and analyzing—using NLP, network analysis, and panel models—how platform engagement impacts identity change and community formation.

Diversity Statements

We are analyzing a corpus of higher education diversity statements to examine how schools across geographies and institution types differentially frame equity and inclusivity.

Nonprofit Social Media

We are working on a couple of projects using a novel corpus of over 1.3 million tweets from 120 environmental and conservation nonprofit organizations in the United States. A current project analyzes if isomorphic pressures explain patterns of attentional selection and whether these patterns are functions of resource dependence.
