lots of double standards in parenting!

What Makes a Good Mother? We keep revising the maternal ideal—and keep falling short of it.

These networks acted as alternatives to what we call ‘mega-logistics,’ consolidated logistics that are increasing intertwined with the technology industry (e.g. Amazon). They demonstrated interlocking forms of environmental and social sustainability but met regulatory friction & were fleeting.

Between 2020 and 2022, we researched street vendors, mutual aid networks, and food pantries to understand the grassroots, ad hoc logistics networks that responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.

Presenting work today at Aarhus Critical Computing about my volunteer activities at 45 St Green Space over the past 5 years. In the paper, I describe the links between post-pandemic work from home trends and changes to collective organizing and New Yorkers' relationship to space.

The guidance will be split into current empirical/tactical knowledge of social media use in social movements, theoretical innovations, and ethical and safety guidance for researchers working in this field. To join, please fill in the Google form on our website. Hybrid participation is welcome.

This will be a design workshop style sprint to create a list of guidance for researchers who study the links between social media and social movements, based on the collective knowledge-making of researchers and activists interested in varied social movements across global contexts.

Alex Lu, Priyank Chandra, Adrian Petterson and I are hosting a workshop at Aarhus Critical Computing on 18 Aug: Reimagining Social Media and Social Movements in Crisis: A Workshop on Empirics, Theory and Research Guidance. Please join us!
