Morgan Ross' research program examines how people use digital technology to weave communication into their lives. Ross draws on theoretical perspectives tied to two aspects of digital technology: mobility and identity. Ross' work explicates how mobility affords opportunities to connect with (but also disconnect from) others anyplace-anytime as well as how mobile technology can become integral to core aspects of the self. To do so, Ross leverages a variety of traditional, naturalistic, and computational methods, with a focus on spatial analysis. Ultimately, Ross investigates how people balance connection and disconnection in daily life.
