My review of @rwg's new book "Move Slowly and Build Bridges" is now published in Convergence

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13548565251409858

In my draft/notes, I had written "this book slaps and everyone should read it because what is thing I feel... hope? optimism? That's been a long time overdue"

What I actually ended up writing was: "A more just, equitable, and inclusive online world is not only possible, but it is already being created."

I'd been hearing about Wiki Edu and the Wikipedia Assignment on various listservs for a while, and this past semester I ran it for the first time with my "Data and Society" class, and *wow* it is so incredible! We all trained to become Wikipedia editors and students contributed to a range of articles while thinking through content gaps, representational politics, research/citation practices, and the presumed "objectivity" of data.

Does anyone remember an MIT Media Lab(?) project called Immersion(?), which let you input your email account and showed you your network of contacts via the to/from metadata? It's gone--but does something like it still exist?

(Asking for teaching, TIA!)

Oh, the paper link one more time!

"Pin the tail on the researcher: From distributed to meshy accountability in decentralized social media"

https://openjournals.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/JoCI/article/view/6644

(ETA: Oh, and sincere thanks to everyone who's both lent moral support & helped me navigate this situation, including offering insights about network architecture & features. I say that in the paper but I should post it here too 💛)

Hello Fediverse!

I’m studying how communication and media scholars think about Twitter/X and its recent whirlwind of changes. If this sounds like you (communication/media scholar, currently or previously used twitter, 18+ years), please take this survey and share your thoughts.

And please share/circulate to help this reach the right people!
