Alexa Hasse
Ph.D. candidate and researcher passionate about equipping young people with the skills to navigate the risks and embrace the opportunities of our digital world and, ultimately, help them to become kind, caring, and empathic leaders of the next generation.
MY RESEARCH FOCUS
As a Ph.D. candidate, and former Director of Education on the Youth and Media team at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, my research centers on the intersection of positive youth development and digital technologies. I study how empathy and prosocial behavior develop across childhood and adolescence and how digital media can support character growth. My work extends across the broader landscape of youth and digital technologies, including social media and mental health, online safety, and artificial intelligence.
