Professor Emerita Chris Ogan will talk about “The EU Kids Online 25-Country Study: First Results” at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 8, in the Ernie Pyle Hall lounge.

Ogan said her research is based on a survey of parents and children in 25 European countries about the opportunities and risks of children's online activities. The survey was coordinated by professors Sonia Livingstone and Leslie Haddon at the London School of Economics in spring/summer 2010.

Based on nearly 50,000 face-to-face interviews with children and one of their parents in each country, the study addressed such risks as cyberbullying, sending and receiving sexual messages, and privacy on social networks.

Ogan’s talk is part of the school’s Research Colloquium, which provides scholars a venue for presenting their work and garnering feedback from colleagues.
