Dr. Genavee Brown
The Big 5 Podcast is hosted by Assistant Professor of Psychology Department, Genavee Brown. Dr. Brown, studies the benefits and risks of technology for relationships from a social psychology perspective. She is interested in examining the types of relationships that people maintain online and how they use tools, like social media, to help them communicate with strangers, friends, and family. More specifically, she has looked at how mobile phones can distract from friendship interactions. She has also examined how university students use Facebook to maintain and develop friendships during the transition to university.

She is currently working on projects concerning online misogyny, emoticon usage in different cultures, LGBTQ+ relationships online, the experiences of gender-diverse people, and the experience of power online.

Her future research projects will center on how we can prevent online misogyny before it happens by using privacy controls and automated dictionaries to find online misogyny. She will also be continuing her research on how cell phones can be so distracting during our face-to-face interactions and why people are tempted to use them even when they know that they detract from romantic and friendship interactions.
