The Quello Center at Michigan State University
The James H. and Mary B. Quello Center conducts rigorous, interdisciplinary research to inform and elevate public discourse on communication, information, and media policy. Our work critically examines prevailing assumptions about technology, regulation, and their impact on citizens, communities, and society at large.
Driven by a commitment to public interest, the Center seeks to harness the transformative potential of advanced communications while addressing emerging risks and inequalities. We collaborate with key stakeholders to shape policy and practice that promote political, social, and economic progress.
Our current research portfolio includes artificial intelligence governance, social effects of media, rural innovation, broadband policy and digital inclusion, next-generation networks (5G, 6G, LEOs, IoT), and data ethics — all aimed at fostering a more equitable and innovative digital future.
