NEW RESEARCH ALERT 🚨 TechEquity just published “Take the Mic: How Worker Voice Shapes Workplace Technology,” which explores different models of worker voice and why it matters.

If the scholarly community allows such practices this will only fuel the prevailing anti-intellectualism, eventually leading to the complete delegitimation of academic institutions. We should ensure that scholars severely respond to any engagement with censorship. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I see that Practicing Digital Ethnography, to which I had contributed with a micro-chapter on Representation, is available for pre-order. I'm very eager to see a copy of the entire book, and I hope that it'll be helpful to anyone interested in digital ethnography. www.routledge.com/Practicing-D...

He conversado con Gilberto Conde para su pódcast Geopolítica y Sociedad sobre la tecno-oligarquía y los debates de soberanía digital. Desafortunadamente, la entrevista se grabó antes del enfrentamiento público entre Trump y Musk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=odX8...

It looks like Bluesky continues with pre-Musk Twitter's policy of nearly unquestioned acceptance of all access-restriction requests made by Turkish courts. Worrying news. www.turkishminute.com/2025/04/17/b...

“The absence of care during doctoral education in neoliberalised academia is a form of violence (Castelao-Huerta, 2025).” Here’s a new 5min read by Isaura Castelao-Huerta bringing a number of her recent papers together. supervisingphds.wordpress.com/2025/04/02/f...

I had shared my article about the effects of dismissals of critical academics in Turkey, thinking that it may be interesting to read it in light of what is happening in the US. Here is the accepted manuscript for people who don't have institutional access: drive.google.com/file/d/1oiTk...

Impressive how the US academia is becoming like the Turkish academia from ten years ago. I don't know if everyone realizes the implications of these dismissals. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
