Hi there!
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the “Platform Governance, Media, & Technology” Lab, ZeMKI, University of Bremen. I am leading the research project “Re-evaluating Governing Principles: Navigating the Integration of Generative AI in Everyday Communication Systems”.
I received my PhD from the Department of Communication and Journalism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in September 2024. My dissertation, supervised by Limor Shifman, was written within the framework of the ERC-funded research project DigitalValues.
Find me on Bluesky - @rscarlets, and Mastodon @rscarlets@aoir.social, or send me an email. (:
