Person

Schrock, Andrew

He is a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Organizing, Communication & Technology (OCT) group at Chapman University. His primary research area involves how people communicate to politically organize and collaboratively design technologies for the “public good” – and how that idea is being constructed and re-articulated. Another research area concerns how the migration of everyday communication to social & mobile media impacts social cohesion among central social groups such as families and communities. To research these topics he employs quantitative (surveys, trace data analysis) and qualitative (ethnography, interviews) methodologies, often in novel combinations. Theoretically his work is situated in communication; sociology; science and technology studies (STS); cultural studies; and political science.
