The reviews went out from our biggest conference in my field #ica26 Partial (AI) reviews are now a real problem. As a community we need to address this and work on standards. No one deserves AI slop as reviews.

My first time in #ica26 and the first time I will present the simplified version of my MA thesis (aka a solo paper). A bit panic cause all of this was written and rewritten by myself.

Excited to have my 2nd @columbiagr.bsky.social book going into proofs: globalreports.columbia.edu/books/the-mi.... It focuses on youth activists in/from Bangkok, Hong Kong, & Burma, but addresses themes relevant to protests in other settings from today’s Seoul to the Soviet bloc during the Cold War

My thesis statement is as simple as "Emotions especially when it ties to moral judgement are important in the protest mobilization especially in care-related emotions eg. Compassion in Thai middle and highschoo protests. It could be well because if we were to protest, we need to care about the cause

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach *journalism* at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.

Related/ not related, one of the things I really admired the HK press corps for over the last few years is that most of them have been actively, passionately documenting the demise of their own freedoms

Niao's post got me thinking of this protest rally by Hong Kong journalists and their supporters in July 2019. One of my memories if it involves Claudia Mo standing quietly by while others said their piece. (A member of the Hong Kong 47, Ms Mo was a journalist before becoming a politician-activist.)

Members of the Hong Kong press posing for photos at a "Stop Police Violence; Defend Press Freedom" rally at Admiralty in July 2019.

I'm going to start collecting threads on HK protest art in one place. Easier to walk down memory lane, even if they be filled with tears and teargas. Having these in many places mean the images are harder to erase. And harder to forget.

🚨New publication🚨 My interview with Randall Collins has been published in Theory and Society. In it, we discuss the relevance of his interaction ritual theory in our increasingly digital age. The interview can be read open access here: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Sociology #commsky

Abstract: This interview with Randall Collins explores the role of interaction rituals (IR) in our increasingly digital world. For Collins, IR is a micro-sociological mechanism that provides both the glue that holds social groups together and the energy that fuels disputes and domination. Crucially, Collins posits that IRs are most effective under face-to-face or “bodily copresent” conditions. The pivotal question of this interview is how well this proposition holds in an age where interaction increasingly takes place through and with technologies. The interview begins with Collins explaining how he became interested in IR, before moving on to consider topics such as whether bodily copresence is as important today as it was when he wrote Interaction Ritual Chains (2004); the relative importance of online and offline IRs; how AI might change our ritual landscape; the role of materiality in the ritual process; and whether IR theory will continue to be as relevant in the future.

Our new working paper shows how a single choice by many social media platforms—to treat all resharing as if from the original poster—can drastically reshape our understanding of the social dynamics on those platforms. doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Right wing social media? “political discourse online has increasingly shifted to an array of mostly right-wing sites that have built up their audiences and stoked largely partisan conversations.” commsky polcom www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/t...

Election Reveals Right-Wing Shift of Social Media Platforms

If the election underscored anything about the internet, it was the ascendancy of social platforms for the right. That puts Democrats at a disadvantage.
