Research Clusters

The Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics (IDDP) is a multidisciplinary effort consisting of top scholars who conduct essential research into digital discourse, disinformation and their impacts. Their work reaches wide audiences via publication in top academic journals, coverage in mass media outlets and engagement with policymakers and practitioners.

While organized into research clusters, individual researchers are not strictly assigned to any one cluster. Each may join in the research of other clusters according to need and interests.
