Social Media, Trust, and Community

Overview

To help ensure that technological progress continues to improve individual lives, the Institute for Humane Studies is convening an interdisciplinary group of faculty, graduate students, and professionals to explore how social media is changing the nature of community, including trust within and between communities. 

Join us online for a panel discussion with Shannon McGregor and Kevin Munger, followed by breakout conversations where you can share your expertise and tackle pressing questions with other scholars. This event takes place online on February 1, 2024, beginning with opening remarks at 3:30 PM Eastern Time and concluding with breakout discussions from 4:00 to 5:00 PM.

Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on the impact of social media on trust and community. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
