By instituting a rapid peer-review process for non-traditional work, this publication repository ensures that cutting-edge humanities research on emerging technologies, democracy, and public life is widely available beyond the academy. The Bulletin of Technology & Public Life translates academic findings to public audiences such as activists, technologists, and journalists.

The Bulletin centers questions of power, history, and culture and features work from a variety of scholars across disciplines. It currently includes a diverse set of publications including:

  • Far Right Radicalization Literature ReviewAlice Marwick, Benjamin Clancy, and Katherine Furl offer a comprehensive assessment of how existing literature on radicalization shapes a particular academic worldview of who counts as a "radical."
  • Dialogue focused on the future of Disinformation Studies. Established and emerging scholars present their big picture ideas presented at the ICR Pre-Conference focused on the question: what comes after 'disinformation studies'?
  • Recommendations for Media Election CoverageDaniel Kreiss, Kathleen Searles, Michael Wagner, and David Wilson offer resources for journalists doing the work to cover U.S. elections at a time when they are being undermined.
