Larissa Doroshenko, a Visiting Lecturer of Communication Studies at Northeastern University, speaks with Humanitarian AI Today’s guest host Jodi Hilton about her computational research studying disinformation and misinformation campaigns with a focus on the war in Ukraine and on the “dark side” of online media.
Larissa received her doctoral degree in Communication Arts with a minor in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her current research explores how marginalized groups, ranging from racial minorities and women politicians to pro-democratic citizens in authoritarian regimes use emerging media to make their voices heard and gain power to drive change.
