The Impact of Social Media on Society January 9 - February 13, 2020
The 3rd Thursday Lecture Series ... and more!
THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON SOCIETYSocial media—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others—have become key methods for communicating via smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices. There are 2.38 billion Facebook users worldwide, and 220 million in the U.S. The average American teenager spends 3 hours or more each day on digital social media. Social media can be used positively for communicating, giving life status updates, and teaching. But social media can also have negative impacts, including spreading false information, bullying, and slandering. This lecture series examines the ways social media impact our day-to-day lives. It asks: How do social media affect young children, including their social, cognitive, and neural development? Are there impacts of social media on people’s self-esteem and mental health? How are social media used for education and to promote social welfare? How do social media compromise people’s privacy? More generally, how can we enhance the benefits of social media, while limiting their negative impacts?
January 9, 2020, 10:00-11:30amSocial Media Research: What We Know Now
Speaker: Prof. Cliff Lampe, School of Information, University of Michigan
Cliff Lampe, Ph.D., is a professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. He has researched social media for the past 15 years. His work with colleagues on Facebook use and social capital has been cited thousands of times. He is a member of the Social Media Research Lab and Center for Social Media
Speaker’s Synopsis: This presentation will discuss the research on modern media, parenting, and early childhood. Dr. Radesky will review her research regarding how the mobility and interactivity of smartphones and tablets have fundamentally changed the way parents and children use technology, and its effects on family interactions. Implications for improved digital design and parenting guidance will be discussed.
January 23, 2020, 10:00-11:30amHow Do Online Social Networks Influence People’s Emotional Lives?
Speaker: Prof. Ethan Kross, Department of Psychology, University of Michigan
Ethan Kross, PhD is an award-winning Professor of Psychology at the University of
January 30, 2020, 10:00-11:30amRestoring Justice to Targets of Online Harassment
Speaker: Prof. Sarita Schoenebeck, School of Information, University of Michigan
Dr. Schoenebeck is an Associate Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. She directs the Living Online Lab and co-directs the Social Media Research Lab. Her research focuses on promoting more equitable and inclusive experiences online in domains ranging from online harassment to gender equity to children’s privacy. Her research has been covered in global media including the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, and elsewhere.
Speaker’s Synopsis: Most social media sites sanction online harassment by removing content or banning users. However, these approaches largely write the targets of online harassment out of the justice-seeking process. If a person is harassed on social media, they are given no opportunity for acknowledgement or reparation. This talk will discuss how theories of justice can help social media sites to better support people who are targets of online harassment.
February 6, 2020, 10:00-11:30amWhy We Use Social Media: Evolution, Neuroscience, and Problematic Use
Speaker: Prof. Dar Meshi, Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University
Prof. Dar Meshi is a cognitive neuroscientist investigating problematic social media use and how the brain processes social information. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the Department of Advertising and Public Relations. He is also a faculty member
Michigan and the Director of the University of Michigan Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory. He received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and his PhD from Columbia. His research explores how people can control their emotions to improve our understanding of how self-control works, and to discover ways of enhancing self-control in daily life.
Speaker’s Synopsis: Within a relatively short time span, online social networks have rapidly changed the way people interact, providing new opportunities to study socio-emotional dynamics. This talk will review findings from a multi-method program of research that examines how interacting with these networks influences people’s emotional lives, focusing specifically on Facebook.
in the Neuroscience Program. Prof. Meshi earned his B.S. in biology from the University of California at Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in New York.
Speaker’s Synopsis: Around two decades ago, Internet pioneers created online platforms that allow users to create profiles and interact with others. Today, almost 3 billion people worldwide use these social networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. This talk will explain why we are driven to use these sites, the neuroscience underlying our use of these sites, and how social media use may become excessive and problematic.
February 13, 2020, 10:00-11:30amIs Technology Killing Privacy?
Speaker: Prof. Florian Schaub, School of Information, University of Michigan
Florian Schaub is Assistant Professor in the University of Michigan School of Information. His research combines privacy, human-computer interaction, emerging technologies, and public policy. He studies people’s privacy decision making and behavior, investigates technology-related privacy implications, and develops user-centric privacy solutions that help people better manage their privacy in technology contexts. Dr. Schaub holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Ulm, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.
Speaker’s Synopsis: Privacy is dead! Or is it? This talk will explore the darker side of social media, smartphones, smart speakers. How and why do these technologies track your behavior online and in your homes? What can they know about you? Why do people struggle to protect their privacy? The talk further discusses research advances that can lead to better privacy protections and user controls, and what you can do now to take back your privacy.
Responsibility. Dr. Lampe regularly consults with policy makers, tech leaders and the press on issues related to social media. Speaker’s Synopsis: This talk will cover how social media has been studied academically over the past decade, focusing on how systematic research is conducted on such a heterogeneous environment. In addition, the talk will describe some of the major research findings regarding social media use including why people use it, under what conditions that use is good and bad, and the social effects of social media use.
