Formerly at Columbia University (http://towcenter.org/academics/jonathan-albright/) Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society https://cyber.harvard.edu/people/jalbright), and Elon University in North Carolina. I use quantitative, qualitative, and computational methods to study media, culture, and politics. My research area includes cross-platform analyses of socially-mediated events, digital forensics, and thematic data visualization to understand the impact of dis/misinformation and propaganda, developer/platform accountability, digital politics, advertising and tracking technologies, and the analysis of controversies using computational social science and open source intelligence methods.
