Respectfully, what the hell are we doing.
Computer scientists: "So with machine learning we can extract subtle patterns from massive datasets. What shall we do with it?"

Business school professors, every single time: "You know, I think phrenology got a raw deal in the late 1800s."

Ever think the idea of a "global" movement may be overstated? You may be correct, and our new paper can show you where connective action movements break apart.

@sfb1265.bsky.social @ifpuk-berlin.bsky.social
💡 Publication alert!
@icsjournal.bsky.social

Based on interviews with youth activists in FFF Turkey and Israel, we explore how local conditions can complicate transnational collaboration — and how the “weak ties” that make connective action possible can also make it fragile.

I do apologize for the fact that my account is, at this point, 25% communication research (at best), 25% political exasperation, and 50% rage against the AI machine. That's just how we're cooking these days, I guess.
