Our Research

The retroV team is an interdisciplinary research group investigating the dynamics of information and content distribution in networks. We examine online ecologies of information in social media networks. We are interested in understanding power relationships among different actors and their influence on dynamics of information flows. Our strength is in combining knowledge of network structures and information flows with empirical data to overcome barriers of information access and usage.
