SUMMARY:What Can Science Do For Democracy?
DESCRIPTION:GRI Faculty Affiliate Tina Eliassi-Rad will discuss the following questions: What is democratic backsliding? What makes a democracy stable? Which processes potentially lead to instability of a democratic system? How can complexity science help us understand and mitigate democratic backsliding? The talk is based on this paper and this paper. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nTina Eliassi-Rad is a Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University in Boston\, MA. She is also a core faculty member at Northeastern’s Network Science Institute. Prior to joining Northeastern\, Tina was an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Rutgers University; and before that she was a Member of Technical Staff and Principal Investigator at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Tina earned her Ph.D. in Computer Sciences (with a minor in Mathematical Statistics) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research is at the intersection data mining\, machine learning\, and network science. She has over 100 peer-reviewed publications (including a few best paper and best paper runner-up awardees); and has given over 200 invited talks and 14 tutorials. \n  \nThe event will take place\, Friday\, February 19\, 2021 at 12:00 to 1:15 PM EST.
