DESCRIPTION:Heather Zinn Brooks\, Department of Mathematics\, Harvey Mudd C
 ollege\n\nBounded-confidence models for media impact on online social netw
 orks  \n\nOnline social media networks have become extremely influential s
 ources of news and information. Given the large audience and the ease of s
 haring content online\, the content that spreads on online social networks
  can have important consequences on public opinion\, policy\, and voting. 
 To better understand the online content spread\, mathematical modeling of 
 opinion dynamics is becoming an increasingly popular field of study. In th
 is talk\, I will introduce you to a special class of models of opinion dyn
 amics on networks called bounded-confidence models. I will then discuss so
 me of the applications and theory that my collaborators and I have been de
 veloping with these models\, including the impact of media\, opinion disse
 mination\, mean-field dynamics\, and extensions to hypergraphs and multila
 yer networks. This talk will also include some unsolved questions for futu
 re work.
