Associate Professor, School of Communication
Kerk F. Kee's (Ph.D. 2010, The University of Texas at Austin) research centers on the diffusion of innovations theory as it applies to organizational and health communication. More specifically, he studies the spread of cyberinfrastructure/big data technologies through cross-disciplinary collaborations in scientific organizations, and the flow of health information through social clusters in online communities. Recently he has become interested in studying the dissemination of pro-environmental behaviors through persuasive messages in modern societies.
His research has been funded twice by the National Science Foundation (CAREER 2015-2020, $519,753, Sole PI: Kerk Kee; VOSS 2013-2016, $324,981, Sole PI: Kerk Kee), and once by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (subcontract of $16,969 to Kerk Kee, 2010-2011, PI: Jim Dearing), totaling over $850,000 in 5 years. His research has appeared in outlets such as the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, CyberPsychology, Behavior, & Social Networking, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Health Communication, and other peer reviewed journals. The impact of his research can be measured by the total citation of 1,550 (as of June 1, 2015, compiled from Google Scholar).
