An ethnographer with fieldwork experience in Havana, Cuba, Guadalajara, Mexico, the slums of Vitória, Brazil, and in the Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, David Nemer is the author of Favela Digital: The other side of technology (2013). Nemer has written also for The Guardian, El País, The Huffington Post (HuffPost), and The Intercept_. His research and teaching cover the intersection of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Nemer is currently examining the problem of online misinformation for democracies worldwide, particularly in countries in the Global South where democratic institutions remain in a beleaguered state. While most research and conversation on the subject of misinformation have focused on online platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, and blogs, little is known about the spread of misinformation on mobile messaging apps, such as Telegrams and WhatsApp. These apps are particularly popular Global South countries due to the quick spread and adoption of mobile phones in the region. Nemer aims to expand our understanding of the motivations and infrastructures behind the creation, sharing, and consumption of misinformation on messaging apps, and to build awareness and interventions to circumvent their effects. Nemer has written for The Guardian, El País, The Huffington Post (HuffPost), The Intercept_, UOL, and Salon (Currículo completo no Lattes).
