Career Summary
Biography
The question driving my research is how and why people evaluate, and subsequently trust, information that they find online.
Research on the ability of individuals to effectively assess the quality of online information is a growing field with high social and political stakes, and despite a great deal of research being devoted to developing critical approaches to evaluating online information, studies suggest that, as a society, we are still not engaging critically with online information.
My research in this area began by looking at better ways to evaluate websites deliberately promoting misinformation (Goulding, 2015), and then moved into looking how the online medium itself shapes our historical thinking (Goulding, 2021). More recently I have broadened the focus to consider how various contextual factors such as development, background and emotions shape the way we engage with web-based material.
