In an article for the Harvard Kennedy School’s Misinformation Review, Gabrielle Lim, doctoral fellow at The Citizen Lab, and co-authors Irene Pasquetto (University of Maryland) and Samantha Bradshaw (American University), discuss the complex challenges facing the field of misinformation.
They argue that “research on misinformation should be locally focused, self-reflexive, and interdisciplinary, addressing critical questions about what counts as misinformation and why it does, the vulnerabilities of specific communities, and the sociotechnical and sociopolitical conditions that shape information interpretation.”
