✨ Chapter Spotlight — Global South Creator Cultures
Today @mediaindustries.bsky.social and I highlight Chapter 2 by @ebirced.bsky.social. This chapter explores how Turkish creators sustain affective relationships with their audiences through monetisation.

Good news: I’ll be joining MIT as a postdoctoral associate in Fall 2025 🎉Looking forward to working with Georg Rilinger, Susan Silbey and Anantha Chandrakasan and contributing to MIT Schwartzman School of Computing!
The sudden and tragic loss of Michael Burawoy is devastating beyond words. A peerless scholar, mentor, teacher, activist, and friend, with a wry wit and an enormous heart. The only consolation is that he brought so many of us together, an extended family of kin who strive to carry on his legacy.
I’m super sorry to hear that😢 Burawoy’s research inspired me and shaped my research, like many other fellow labor sociologists.
