About the Social Technology and Privacy Lab
The Social Technology and Privacy Lab (STaPL) explores how emerging technologies shape social values, communication, and the lives of everyday people. We combine empirical research and applied interventions to examine privacy harms, technology use in religious and cultural contexts, cross‑cultural communication, and the impacts of digital systems on neurodiverse communities.
