William Dance

I’m a researcher currently working on two main research projects. The first is my PhD research exploring the amplification, reception and correction of disinformation online. The second is my role as a senior research associate on the £1-million Quo VaDis project at Lancaster University that explores discussions of vaccination in the language of the public, press and policymakers.

These projects broadly cover my overall research interests of investigating computer-mediated communication and adding nuance to the discussions of disinformation, misinformation and ‘fake news’.
