More About this Workshop

Researchers often study a single place people access information (e.g., social media), a single level of an information ecosystem (e.g., community), or a single type of information sought (e.g., health). This workshop aims to move beyond isolated studies of information behaviour by fostering a systemic, holistic conversation. We invite scholars to examine all levels of the information ecosystem.
We welcome researchers who wish to understand and articulate how individual behaviours and environmental factors influence one another. They may be studying information seeking or retrieval, algorithmic curation, narrative diffusion, media literacy, and the spread of disinformation using computational, behavioural, or humanistic methods.

Our primary goal is to establish a collaborative research agenda. Participants will work together to define at least one concrete research project and team. We will draft a white paper based on the workshop and include participants. The workshop will be held in-person.
