The Social Media Collective (SMC) was a network of social science and humanistic researchers, part of the Microsoft Research labs in New England and New York. It included full-time researchers, postdocs, interns, and visitors. Our primary purpose was to bring a sociotechnical perspective to the critical issues of our time. We used empirical and critical methods to study the social, political, and cultural dynamics that shape technologies and their consequences.
