Environmental Injustice and Deaths of Despair: Lessons from Montana’s Tribal Lands
Principal Investigator(s):
Research Areas: Health Informatics > Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics
The proposed project uses the case of Native American Lands in Montana to investigate the dynamic interactions between environmental change and socio-economic conditions, in order to identify potential pathways whereby environmental hardship may contribute to (and result from) forms of socio-economic distress linked to deaths of despair.

Human-Agent Teaming on Intelligence Tasks
Principal Investigator(s): Susannah Paletz
Research Areas: Future of Work
Our goal is to create a platform for running experiments that would simulate an AI intervention into intelligence analysis tasks, specifically involving a human shift handover. Participants would work through materials, including notes and feedback from the “previous” analyst, to solve a fictional intelligence task. This study examines how potential AIs can influence team cognition and decision making.
