How do online feeds change how we talk and see the world? Join us to explore how social media algorithms influence our opinions and community, featuring insights from Ohio State University research.

How do online feeds change how we talk and see the world? Every day, billions of scrollable updates shape our worldviews, yet the mechanisms behind them remain largely invisible. Join us for a discussion as we explore how social media algorithms influence our personal opinions, alter public perception, and reshape community discourse. Using straightforward, real-world examples, this program pulls back the curtain on our digital feeds to reveal how systemic online distortions impact our real-world civic life.
