A recent project relied on a broad collaboration of researchers, designers, and communications professionals. The effort involved input from individuals affiliated with multiple institutions, including Google Research, Georgetown University, the Aspen Institute, and the University of Texas at Austin.
A Collaborative Undertaking
Michelle Faverio and Olivia Sidoti served as primary researchers on the project. A larger research team included Monica Anderson, Director of Internet and Technology Research, and Jeffrey Gottfried, Associate Director of Internet and Technology Research. Colleen McClain, Eugenie Park, and William Bishop also contributed as researchers.
Kaitlyn Radde and David Kent focused on editorial and graphic design. Haley Nolan, Maya Pottiger, and Sara Atske managed communications and web publishing. The project also benefited from guidance from a methodology team of nine individuals, as well as feedback from Juliana Menasce Horowitz and Gregory A. Smith.
External Expertise
The project’s questionnaire development was informed by advice from Michael Madaio, Ph.D., of Google Research; Mary Madden of Georgetown University; Shreya Singh Hernández of the Aspen Institute; and S. Craig Watkins, Ph.D., of the University of Texas at Austin.
It was noted that the feedback provided by reviewers represents their individual perspectives and does not reflect the views of their employers.
