Measuring the Impact of Urban Renewal
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization
This is a case study focusing on the legacy of urban renewal in Asheville, North Carolina between 1965 and 1980, when housing policies were enacted that ultimately displaced and erased African American businesses and communities with traumatic and lasting effects. The study focuses on designing new access interfaces to tell human stories. Ongoing results were presented to the Racial Reparations Commission of the City of Asheville on May 20, 2023.

Mitigating online COVID misinformation costs: From individual to field interventions
Principal Investigator(s): Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia
Funders: Social Science Research Council Other Non-Federal
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Social Networks, Online Communities, and Social Media
This project will conduct one of the most systematic tests to date of the welfare effects of altering information environments by decreasing exposure to untrustworthy sources. Researchers will encourage social media users to change the composition of the accounts they follow and measure the effect of this intervention on real-world behavior. This design will provide a building block for future research on the effects of online information exposure on offline behavior.
