I'll be the first to critique what USAID was, but the structural zoom out of the richest man on earth damning a main resource flow to the poorest needs to be on repeat.

As long as Galtung's triangle continues to be a standard in peace studies 101 classes, I think we need to also include its critiques and extensions. In my argument, the framework that so usefully makes systemic harm visible to new learners also makes responsibility and justice invisible.

What if "structural violence" isn’t always as faceless as we assume? @juliehawke.bsky.social's concept of institutional violence challenges Galtung’s classic triad of direct, cultural and structural violence by asking us to look more closely at attribution. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jogs...

I would like to say you're welcome to all of my sociology colleagues who use American Community Survey (ACS) data because a nice enumerator knocked during bed and bath-time, and I answered every question while body-blocking naked and/or screaming children from the door.

Could social media make us less polarized instead of more? We tested 5 algorithms on 3 platforms with 10,000 people for 6 months during the 2024 election, and found that the answer is yes. 🧵

I have a new labor of love article in Peacebuilding: "Towards a third side on social media" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Current platform policies reinforce conflict models that are both dyadic and agentic. Helena Puig Larrauri and I show how this is a faulty foundation.

Why did free speech vanguards change their tune following the murder of Charlie Kirk? Is it possible to leave the low hanging fruit of content moderation alone and reach a little higher up the tree? My initial thoughts here: howtobuildup.medium.com/moderate-the...

“It’s an uncomfortable truth that platforms are profiting from this event, and that’s built into deeper structures than content moderation” said @juliehawke.bsky.social, peace-building and research lead (and my colleague!) at Build-Up @socialcohesiontech.bsky.social thehill.com/policy/techn...

Are you trained in or currently engaged in responding to toxic speech online, and able to take a short 5-10 minute survey? This survey asks you to reflect on skills and strategies for responding to toxic speech. Thanks in advance for your time! www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Some of you probably have a use for RSS-scraped US news stories from 2022 through 03/2025. This collection apparently has ABC, CBS, CNN, LA Times, NBC, NPR, NYT, Politico, ProPublica, USA Today, and WaPo.

🔔 (new paper!) You might have heard of the "Habermas Machine", an AI-human pipeline that is really good at finding common ground between ideologically diverse groups, at least in lab settings. But can this kind of approach help in real world conflicts?

A diagram of the process used in the paper that this thread announces. The effort consisted of four dialogue cycles with peacebuilders: three uninational dialogues cycles conducted respectively with
Israeli Jews, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinian citizens of Israel, followed by a final joint dialogue involving
all three groups. Each dialogue cycle involved a process to find common ground among participants followed by a deliberation on the
results of that process. The common ground process started with a collective dialogue, then bridging-based ranking was used to
identify common ground ’bridging statements’ that were distilled into articulate ’collective statements’ via LLM and reviewed by
human experts before being shared back with participants for a final vote.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
