Hi. I’m Ioana.

I’m an Associate Professor in the Communication, Media and Learning Technologies Design program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the Associate Director of the Media & Social Change Lab (MASCLab).

My research centers on young people’s creative and political expression online, with a particular focus on youth. My work asks: How does online participation enable new forms of creativity and learning? How do young people’s creative and civic practices intersect in online contexts? And, how can we leverage an understanding of these practices to better support the next generation of thinkers, voters and activists?
