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. -

Herbert Clark
Albert Ray Lang Professor of Psychology, Emeritus
BioFrom Wikipedia:
"Herbert H. Clark (Herb Clark) is a psycholinguist currently serving as Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. His focuses include cognitive and social processes in language use; interactive processes in conversation, from low-level disfluencies through acts of speaking and understanding to the emergence of discourse; and word meaning and word use. Clark is known for his theory of "common ground": individuals engaged in conversation must share knowledge in order to be understood and have a meaningful conversation (Clark, 1985). Together with Deanna Wilkes-Gibbs (1986), he also developed the collaborative model, a theory for explaining how people in conversation coordinate with one another to determine definite references. Clark's books include Semantics and Comprehension, Psychology and Language: An Introduction to Psycholinguistics, Arenas of Language Use and Using Language." -

BioTom Clark is a Professor of Political Science and, by courtesy, of Political Economy and the Graduate School of Business and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. His research and teaching interests are in the political economy of judicial politics, policing and public safety, as well as applied formal theory and statistical methodology. Current research projects focus on two areas. The first is information and policy-making, and is concerned with how institutions work in tandem to shape the content of political outputs. The second is the politics of public safety and criminal justice. His published research examines the politics of law-enforcement and criminal justice, judicial learning and rule-making, interactions among actors within the judiciary, representation on the courts, empirical techniques for estimating judicial preferences and the content of judicial decisions, and the interaction between the judiciary and other institutions.

Geoffrey Cohen
James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business, Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of Business
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMuch of my research examines processes related to identity maintenance and their implications for social problems. One primary aim of my research is the development of theory-driven, rigorously tested intervention strategies that further our understanding of the processes underpinning social problems and that offer solutions to alleviate them. Two key questions lie at the core of my research: “Given that a problem exists, what are its underlying processes?” And, “Once identified, how can these processes be overcome?” One reason for this interest in intervention is my belief that a useful way to understand psychological processes and social systems is to try to change them. We also are interested in how and when seemingly brief interventions, attuned to underlying psychological processes, produce large and long-lasting psychological and behavioral change.
The methods that my lab uses include laboratory experiments, longitudinal studies, content analyses, and randomized field experiments. One specific area of research addresses the effects of group identity on achievement, with a focus on under-performance and racial and gender achievement gaps. Additional research programs address hiring discrimination, the psychology of closed-mindedness and inter-group conflict, and psychological processes underlying anti-social and health-risk behavior. -

Emma Shaw Crane
Assistant Professor of Anthropology
BioEmma Shaw Crane is an urban and environmental anthropologist. Her research and teaching focus on war, environment, and racialization in the urban Americas.
Her current book project, Counterinsurgent Suburb, is a study of the environmental and spatial arrangements that sustain U.S. empire on the peripheries of Miami, Florida. It draws on ethnographic fieldwork across a military base, a detention camp for migrant children, a nuclear power plant, and industrial plantations sustained by Indigenous Maya migrant workers. The project engages war as a transnational racial project that is routinized and reproduced in the American suburb.
A second project examines aftermaths of war in Bogotá and draws on long-term fieldwork with former guerrilla combatants in Colombia’s civil war. It examines how peripheral neighborhoods become the targets of municipal, humanitarian, and insurgent efforts to repair past atrocity, often in ways that seek to remake urban built environments.
Crane’s work is grounded in the principles and practices of research justice. She currently co-directs a project investigating a county jail and federal migrant detention center in Glades County, Florida. -

Florian Danner
Graduate, Communication
BioFlorian Danner is a John S. Knight Journalism fellow 2026-27. He co-anchors Austria’s first national morning television show on ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and is the creator of Wahlwandern (“election hiking”). He grew up in a small village six miles from the Iron Curtain, where fences were fact, not metaphor. It gave him an early sense of distance, and of what it means to feel left out by the news.
After his 2016 Arthur F. Burns Fellowship at NBC in New York, he created Wahlwandern: a reporting format that has taken him over 2,000 miles on foot through small towns in Austria, rural Europe and the United States. Covering six U.S. presidential elections on the ground and reporting from Afghanistan to the Vatican, he kept hearing the same line: the news isn't made for people like us.
At the inaugural AI Media Academy in Vienna, he began building and testing prototypes to explore how AI can help make journalism more relatable and worth returning to.
Danner holds a master’s in international relations from the University of Leicester, was a CNN exchange fellow, teaches digital storytelling at Johannes Kepler University in Linz and volunteers in Austrian schools teaching media literacy. -
