Interested in doing graduate research with me and the rest of @communitydata.science? My research group (now with faculty at six campuses!) is organizing a PhD and MS recruiting event and Q&A. Join us! Details and a registration link is here: blog.communitydata.science/prospective-...

For the cover of my next book? Thanks @mako.cc‬ , who found this while biking, as in like pedaling-biking!, through a big chunk of Africa (pic taken en route into Nairobi from Ngong)

UW published this really nice article about my work on governance challenges and lifecycles faced by peer-produced online communities—the work supported by my NSF CAREER grant. Check it out if you want to know what I've been thinking about and working on!

If you're in Denver for the International Communication Association's annual meeting, see work by and connect with CDSC people. @yibin.bsky.social, @callofdyuti.bsky.social, @mako.cc, Haomin Lin, and Jeremy Foote are all around! #ICA25 blog.communitydata.science/come-check-o...

a new short research brief with @mako.cc and @aaronshaw.bsky.social synthesizes some of the work I presented at @communitydata.science Science of Community Dialogues back in April! zenodo.org/records/1560...

Last chance to register for this public event on online governance that my research group (@communitydata.science) is organizing tomorrow as part of our Science of Community Dialogues series.

My current playlist is this diorama of Lulu the Piggy channeling Tupac Shakur in a toy vending machine in the basement of New World Mall in Flushing Chinatown.

While in Tokyo, nutritional epidemiologist @mikazilla.bsky.social realizes that "if I am what I eat..." The situation in Seoul is similar, albeit less fried and more confident.

i guess "governance capture" may be kind of relevant these days... i'll be at CSCW this week presenting our paper with @mako.cc and @katestarbird.bsky.social exploring why some self-governing online communities are more vulnerable to capture than others: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

My research group @communitydata.science will host a public/free workshop on research into online community governance as part of our Science of Community Dialogue Series: https://wiki.communitydata.science/Dialogues/Complexities_of_Community_Governance (register at the link!).

I realize that because I have several chairs, the phrase "my chair" is ambiguous. To reduce confusion, I will refer to the head of my academic department as "my office chair" going forward.

Wrapped up an awesome first day at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy where I'm honored to be part of an awesome class of fellows for 23-24 (w/ @alicetiara.bsky.social as you can see). Excited to be back on the east coast and to (re)connecting w/ many of you! #sabbatical

Turns out out that my house is on here (@els.bsky.social ), already followed by 66 people, and has posted pictures from events I was present for!
