Dr. Leah LeFebvre (PhD, University of Texas at Austin) examines the intersection of romantic relationships and emerging technologies. She investigates online, recordable relational communication technologies (e.g., Facebook, Tinder, voicemails, etc.) that influence past, current, and future relationship and communicative processes. Her research examines how the technology is altering our previous conceptualizations and theorized processes, as well as explores storytelling processes that inform, reinforce, and reshape our understanding of relationships. In her upcoming research presentation, she sequentially explores previous exploratory and predictive research, which lead to current and ongoing research projects that explore the delicate balance between forgetting and remembering throughout digital and online technologies. Specifically, she will explore relationship dissolution phenomena, Facebook dissolution behavior and practices, and archival processes in digital contexts.
