SOME
RESEARCH THAT I AM DOING:
This
year being an election year will bring more research on presidential candidate
images. I will focus more on process as related to image structures this
time around.
Some
of my current research now is focusing on strategic communication, public
diplomacy, and international political communication that affects poltitical
conflicts. I am also studying how CMC can be used in political structuration
that affect political conflict and conflict management. Addtionally,
I am working with Dr. Chris Weaver on the use of automated text analysis
computer programs for the tracking of discourse framing.
Some
of my most current research concerns the use of CMC for political collaboratoria
and a means of depolarizing conflicted political communication. I
doing this research as part of a project partially funded by Los Alamos
National Lab and in conjunction with psychologies and mathematicians who
seek to develop robust tools of communication dynamics measurement.
One of
my main areas of research is computer-mediated communication (CMC).
I am examining the following aspects of CMC in studies I am conducting:
a) CMC and politics, particularly what is called electronic democracratization
or "virtual democracy,"; b) CMC and education;
and c) CMC and organizational communication.
My second
most major area of research is political communication where I continue
my work on a) candidate images, b) ideology and politics, and c) democracy
and CMC.
I had
developed an interest in the Digital Divide, particularly the ethnic component
of the divide. I am no longer doing data analysis about this topic.
A few years ago, I set up a list
of links for scientific
analyses of the Digital Divide
having found myself exasperated by the shoddy pseduo-scentific
reports being cited on radio, TV, and Internet sites.
