Enjoying #CHI2024 🌺🤙

My PhD student Emma is giving her FIRST talk ever at an HCI conference today (Wednesday) at #chi2024 in the 11AM session on online toxicity. If you study trauma, sexual violence, online dating, or data donation…come on out!

Does observing why someone's post got removed influence an observer's online behavior? Come see me talk about a project Koustuv Saha and I conducted to answer this question tomorrow in 313B at 9 am #CHI2024 programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr…

Heading to #ICA2024 next month? Catch my presentation on forging social bonds online while navigating housing displacement. In this study, we use ERGM to examine the network patterns of displaced users across disaster phases. Co-authors: Sarah Shugars & Marya Doerfel
