SUMMARY:CISE Faculty Candidate Seminar: Dr. Pamela J. Wisniewski
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url\
 nBio: Dr. Pamela Wisniewski is an endowed\, Associate Professor in the Dep
 artment of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. She is a Human-Compu
 ter Interaction (HCI) scholar whose research lies at the intersection of S
 ocial Computing and Privacy. Dr. Wisniewski is an expert in the interplay 
 between social media\, privacy\, and online safety for adolescents. She wa
 s one of the first researchers to recognize the need for a resilience-base
 d approach\, rather than an abstinence-based approaches to adolescent onli
 ne safety\, and to back this stance up with empirical data. She has author
 ed over 150 peer-reviewed publications and has won multiple best papers (t
 op 1%) and best paper honorable mentions (top 5%) at top conferences in HC
 I. She has been awarded over $4.73 million in external grant funding\, inc
 luding two prestigious career awards. She is the recipient of the National
  Science Foundation’s prestigious CAREER Award for her innovative\, teen
 -centric approach to adolescent online safety\, “Safety by Design: Prote
 cting Adolescents from Online Risks\,” and was the first computer scient
 ist to ever be selected as a William T. Grant Scholar for her work on redu
 cing digital inequality in youth outcomes. Her research has been featured 
 by popular news media outlets\, including Scientific American\, ABC News\,
  NPR\, Psychology Today\, and U.S. News and World Report.\nTitle of the Ta
 lk: Risk and Resilience: Promoting Adolescent Online Safety and Privacy th
 rough Human-Centered Computing\nAbstract: Dr. Wisniewski’s research expe
 rtise is situated at the juxtaposition of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
 \, Social Computing\, and Privacy. She views privacy as a social mechanism
  that helps people regulate their interpersonal boundaries with others in 
 a way that facilitates more meaningful connections and safer online intera
 ctions with others. Her research focuses on: 1) community-based approaches
  for helping people (adults and teens) co-manage their online privacy with
  people they trust\, 2) teen-centric approaches to online safety that prom
 ote self-regulation and empower teens to effectively manage online risks\,
  and 3) online safety interventions that protect our most vulnerable youth
  from severe online risks\, such as sexual predation. Through the research
  trajectories above\, she has become a leading HCI scholar at the intersec
 tions of adolescent online safety\, developmental science\, interaction de
 sign\, and human-centered computing. She has created an exciting research 
 program that intertwines research and education to engage teens\, college 
 students\, experts in adolescent psychology\, experts in participatory des
 ign and research methods\, community partners\, and industry stakeholders 
 in a community-based effort to build the village needed to protect our you
 th from online risks by empowering them to protect themselves. During her 
 talk\, Dr. Wisniewski will give an overview of her on-going grant-funded r
 esearch\, as well as her career-long aspirations to empower people through
  human-centered computing as a “scholar activist\,” who is someone com
 mitted to scholarly research and scientific rigor\, but equally committed 
 to their situations of origin and are passionate about making the world a 
 better place through their learned experience.
