Irene V. Pasquetto
Assistant Professor of Information, College of Information Studies
Hello, I’m a scholar in the field of information and communication studies. I research contemporary knowledge production, management and communication practices, with a focus on how these are mediated by digital technologies and data-driven reasoning. My most recent research work focuses on open science, digital curation of science artifacts, public participation in science, and science-related mis- and disinformation. I’m an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, where I taught ethics of information technologies and digital curation. I’m also a Senior Research Fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy, at the Harvard Kennedy School, where I co-founded the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review in 2019.
