Now that the #AOIR2024 program is out, I will be presenting @jeremy@hci.social and I's workon the 31st of October (🎃) with a bunch of brilliant researchers!

See you there!

Sometimes I feel very cynical about people with generational wealth and privileges who don't quit academia and keep signaling to POC, first-gen, marginalized folks about how academia sucks. Some days it looks like you want it to look like it did back in the day. White and bland.

Since application season is again upon us, yearly reminder that if you are applying for a social science (Communication/Media esp.) PhD in North America, feel free to get in touch. There is also the excellent mentorship initiative by Bahujan Economics. Please check it out too!

Hey!
I am recruiting participants for an interview study on the mutual aid groups working during the pandemic in India as part of my work on online communities. I would appreciate suggestions on such groups I could reach out to.

I know a bunch of Indian Twitter came over here when Sanjay Hegde, a tech policy lawyer was suspended from Twitter and everyone went back within a week or so, but this time the migration seems way bigger and I hope this sticks.
