My research has focused on understanding how individuals use new media technologies to make sense of both the political landscape and the wider information environment. I have an additional specialization in social informatics, the study of the social aspects of computerization. My recent research projects exmaine how young citizens learn about public affairs and broad politics using new media technologies, particularly in the U.S. and South Korea.
