Angele Christin
Associate Professor of Communication, by courtesy, of Sociology and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAngèle Christin studies the social and cultural impact of algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Her award-winning book, Metrics at Work: Journalism and the Contested Meaning of Algorithms (Princeton University Press, 2020) examined the dramatic transformations of journalism with the rise of social media platforms, metrics, and algorithms. Drawing on ethnographic methods, Angèle compared how American and French journalists made sense of traffic numbers, which in turn came with distinct effects on the production of news in the two countries.
Her most recent project examines the paradoxes of algorithmic labor through a study of influencers and influencer marketing on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
