Biographie
Edda Humprecht is a senior research and teaching associate in the Department of Communication and Media Research at the University of Zurich. Her research focuses on online communication and the changing digital landscape. In particular, it studies the extent to which digitalization offers new opportunity structures for the spread of phenomena such as disinformation, conspiracy narratives, and hate speech. Furthermore, she examines the effects of manipulation-oriented communication and the possibilities of empowering media users against manipulation. She studies these questions from a cross-national comparative and multi-methodological perspective, combining quantitative, qualitative, and computational measures and has extensive experiences in conducting multilingual surveys and survey experiments. She is currently leading an international collaborative research project on resilience to online disinformation, in cooperation with researchers from Belgium and Switzerland. Previously, she has been CO-PI on a research project on hate speech in news comment sections in cooperation with researchers from the University of Houston, USA.
Edda Humprecht’s work has been published in the central outlets of the field including the International Journal of Press/Politics, Information Communication & Society, the Journal of Communication and Digital Journalism, and her research attracted both national and international third-party funding. Since 2020, she has been a scientific expert in the “Fostering Democratic Resilience in the Digital Age“ project of the Israel Public Policy Institute (IPPI) and was a member of the scientific expert group of the WHO’s First Interdisciplinary Conference of Infodemiology in 2020.
