Great read, thanks so much for this resource! 📝

From Ukraine🇺🇦 to Gaza🇵🇸, Syria🇸🇾, Lebanon🇱🇧, and now India🇮🇳 & Pakistan🇵🇰, creators use SM platforms to make their conflicts more visible. They're curators, eyewitnesses, and living archives of atrocity. @moaerikssonkrut.bsky.social & I call them *War Influencers*; OA in @platformsnsociety.bsky.social 🧵

It was lovely to keynote the TikTok + Grief Symposium! The full vid is here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=fwHB...

“For creators in Gaza, posting to social media is a vital act of resilience in a media landscape where their voices are often marginalized, and portrayals, particularly from Israeli outlets, tend toward dehumanization.” Moa & I on our playful trauma concept ❤️‍🩹 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Lund is such a lovely city! Thank you for hosting me, Sociological dept at Lund university!

How long until I rejoin Twitter? (I’ll be deadnaming it continuously.)

Thank you to the #ICA24 team, what a great collation of research represented from the field. I’ve been inspired and in awe, and had so much fun. Please reach out to me and keep in contact if we only met in brief!

We had a lovely pre-conf in local Brisbane yesterday, and I’m heading out to the main #ICA24 conference tomorrow. See you there? 🐨☕️

I have to confess. I only saw five parts of the ReesaTeesa series.

We are looking for a postdoc for our research group in digital sociology within DIGSUM. The research is about how false information is created and spread across digital platforms, and how it can affect public opinion and undermine democracy. Spread the word! www.digsum.org/digsum-feed/...

Order your inspection copy of mine and @simonlindgren.bsky.social’s newest book “Researching Digital Media and Society”, here:

The post-pandemic university is a platform university, says @drmarkcarrigan.bsky.social and a potential crisis is the drive towards increased automation of knowledge #arc23

Can we actually build AI that make us obsolete as human beings? Depends on what we mean by an imagined humanity itself. Starting off w/ our first panel of #arc2023 at Humlab, Umeå uni.

Just in time, I submitted my reviews for #ICA24, but when can we expect to get our acceptance (or rejection) letters you reckon? 🙏

How many hours each semester do I waste by not being able to save my ScholarOne passwords and having original logins for each journal or conference..!

We're super excited about the upcoming keynote entitled "From social media to generative media: the confusing landscape of post-pandemic research communication" by @drmarkcarrigan.bsky.social at our conference Advancing Research Communication hosted by Humlab at Umeå Uni: www.umu.se/en/events/fr...

Great seeing @timhighfield.bsky.social @ Humlab @ Umeå University today, talking about the new landscape of restricted access to data via digital platforms, asking: Does it limit researchers, or can it also be used as a means for encouraging methodological innovation and creativity?

My chapter in the Routledge International Handbook of Child and Adolescent Grief in Contemporary Contexts is 🔊 coming oooout sooooon 🔊 dealing with the intersections of humour and grief on TikTok. Open for pre-order here: www.routledge.com/The-Routledg...
