Angela Lee
Angela Y. Lee received her PhD in the Department of Communication at Stanford University. Her work investigates the effects of emerging media on digital well-being, with an emphasis on developing theoretically grounded approaches to explaining heterogeneity. She is particularly interested in identifying pathways to support young people, their families, and diverse communities in obtaining positive, prosocial experiences with technology. Her work is supported by the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship and the Stanford Social Impact Labs. She will join the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026.
Angela is passionate about studying the psychological mechanisms that shape how social technologies influence our health, well-being and development in order to design targeted interventions. In addition, she is interested in exploring how new media and technology affect child and adolescent development, the parent-child relationship, and intergenerational attitudes.
