How citizens are affected by algorithmic systems

Assistant Professor and Mills Family Faculty Fellow Malte Ziewitz studies the changing role of governance and regulation in, of, and through digitally networked environments – the dynamics at work, the values at stake, the design options at hand. 

Ziewitz recently recieved a $400,000 grant spanning five years from the National Science Foundation Career Award to study how people interact with web search engines, the role of search engine optimization (SEO) services, and how the situation of those affected by these systems might be improved.
