Nicole Ellison on Spartan Podcast
From MSU Today on Impact Radio: Nicole Ellison is on the faculty in MSU’s Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media. She studies the social impact of new media.
“That means I’m interested in the way that online tools help shape human behavior and the outcomes of that behavior,” Ellison says.
Ellison looks at self-presentation and deception in online dating environments and social capital in Facebook use.
“Social capital describes the benefits we get from our social relationships,” Ellison says. “Social networks allow us to maintain relationships with more people and perhaps make it easier to access these benefits.”
