What drives #OnlineMobilization — messages or networks? Our study shows it’s both. Personal frames spark engagement but weaken in closed networks, while collective frames gain strength in tightly connected ones. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

We want to thank everyone who joined our #CHI2026 panel & posters! 🙏 Our session on “#AIagents and the future of #deliberation” drew a good crowd, and we’re especially grateful to those who stayed for the “AI vs. human deliberation” activities. Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3…
The CivicTech Lab has two interventions to make at #CHI2026. This year, along with long-term collaborators and new ones, we focus on exploring one question: what roles can #AIagents play in public #deliberation? Please come join our panel on 4.14 and check out our poster on 4.15!
