ICR Distinguished Speaker Series: Nicole Ellison
Nicole Ellison, Karl E. Weick Collegiate Professor of Information at the University of Michigan, will present "Reflecting Identity, Signaling Attention, Shaping Language: Examining Digital Social Practices," as part of the Institute of Communications Research (ICR) Distinguished Speaker Series.
Nicole B. Ellison's research has explored social and interpersonal aspects of online technologies and computer-mediated communication, including research on self-presentational strategies used by online dating participants; the role of social media in reshaping college access patterns for low-income and first-generation college students; and the ways in which users employ the communication affordances of Facebook to receive and give social and informational support to members of their network. This research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the National Academies of Science.
This event is sponsored by the School of Information Sciences and the Institute of Communications Research
