Description of Current Work:
The main focus of my work is on the relationship between digital media uses and social inequality. My first project funded by the MacArthur Foundation looks at the Internet uses, skills and participation of college students. The second project is a survey of the literature on studies of digital media use by youth to assess the feasibility of a longitudinal study on this topic.
