A quantitative and qualitative researcher, Amanda is the Program Director, Health + Data at the Data & Society Research Institute. Over decades, she has examined how adolescents and their families use and think about technology, how young adults consume news, how harassment has thrived in online spaces, and how automation will impact workers.
