How do online platforms shape the ways people connect, collaborate, and communicate? HCDE researchers in this cluster study the dynamics of human interaction in digital spaces—from the formation of communities to the spread of information and the design of safer, more trustworthy online environments.
Using a range of empirical and design methodologies, we investigate how platforms influence social behavior, participation, and governance. Our work sheds light on the interplay between online interactions and real-world impact.
