Knowledge, Power, and Bias in Digital Platforms
Research on Wikipedia bias examines gender inequality, minority representation, sourcing hierarchies, editorial governance, and talk-page power dynamics.
Particular attention is given to Israel-related content, where narrative framing, citation selection, and consensus construction produce some of the most consequential distortions in contemporary digital knowledge infrastructures.
My work analyzes how these mechanisms operate structurally — through revision histories, participation patterns, administrative concentration, and conflict-domain polarization.
