About
Susan C. Herring is a pioneering figure in computer-mediated communication (CMC) and computer-mediated discourse analysis (CMDA). Her foundational work, including the highly cited "The Coevolution of Computer-Mediated Communication and Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis" (107 citations), has shaped how scholars understand the interplay between digital platforms and language use. Herring’s research has been instrumental in analyzing multimodal communication, as seen in "New Frontiers in Interactive Multimodal Communication" (82 citations), where she explores how Web 2.0 platforms converge text, audio, video, and images to transform user interaction. Beyond discourse analysis, Herring has made significant contributions to telepresence robotics, investigating how robots mediate human communication. Her studies on psychological distance in mobile telepresence (32 citations) and telepresence robots for academics (26 citations) have advanced understanding of remote presence and its social implications. Her work on conversational fluency and attitudes toward robot pilots (2023) continues to push boundaries in human-robot interaction. With over 100 citations on her most influential papers, Herring’s impact is evident across linguistics, HCI, and communication studies. A recipient of the ASIS&T Research Award, she remains a leading voice in the evolution of digital communication, inspiring researchers to explore the future of mediated interaction.
