Dr. Alice Marwick, the director of research at Data & Society Research Institute, will share her new research project “Do Your Own Research: How Online Communities Produce Evidence for False and Fringe Beliefs,” on Monday, December 8, 2025 at 11:30 in BRNG 1255. (Please note the date change from earlier announcements and the different room!)
Dr. Marwick is also a research associate professor in the Department of Communication at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a senior faculty research at the university’s Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life, which she co-founded.
She is the author of the award-winning book titled, The Private is Political: Networked Privacy on Social Media. This talk will draw on research from her current manuscript in progress, “Down the Rabbit Hole: The Intellectual Journey of Violent Racists, Conspiracy Theorists, Flat Earthers, and Other Americans on the Fringe.”
Lunch will start at 11:30 a.m. and then a research talk will begin shortly after. There is no pre-circulated material as Dr. Marwick will deliver a short research talk about her work in progress and then we will open it up to a discussion and conversation.
