Center for Technology and Social Behavior

in
The Center for Technology and Social Behavior's central goal is to support researchers in their quest to understand the role that technology plays in our everyday social interactions.

From smartphones, to paying for groceries by thumbprint, to the ubiquity of online social networking sites, it is clear that we have entered into an age of social interaction through and with technology. However, along with the undeniable benefits of these technologies come a number of questions surrounding how technology influences our daily interactions with each other and with our society around us. We believe that these questions are best answered in the context of highly interdisciplinary conversations among engineers, historians, artists, and social scientists.
