Full paper here (please email for pdf if you need it!): dl-acm-org.proxy.library.nyu.edu/doi/full/10....

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!

I gave a talk about my book "Media Ruins" last week and it is now available as a webinar for members of ASIS&T -- please feel free to view (if a member) here: www.asist.org/meetings-eve...

will you be giving a book talk in the city?

@allergyphd.bsky.social & @lmesseri.bsky.social are putting together a roundtable for AAA: "Specters of Technology.” They are looking for 3-5 participants to reflect on the sociotechnical “collisions of scholarship, pedagogy, and life that do not always take center stage in our published research"

A fun excuse to come visit us @nyutandon.bsky.social next Friday -- all are welcome. I think we all need some hands on DIY play these days...

Oh hey it’s the cover of my new book, “Bangkok After Dark” (May 2025, @dukepress.bsky.social).

I love the design! I am beyond excited for you to read this thing.

Hope to see some of you at IPK tonight! In these confusing times, it is only more important to come together and celebrate members in our community who are doing good and important work. Cyborg synthesizes some of the best STS feminist scholarship for students, scholars, and the public.

Honored that Media Ruins was awarded an Honorable Mention for the Benda Prize (for a first book in English on Southeast Asia) by the Association of Asian Studies. Please check out the books awarded this year -- what an amazing collection! I want to read them all. www.asianstudies.org/aas-2025-pri...

Congrats - this looks wonderful

I heard this this morning too and it put me in a total tizzy

hey all! i'm organizing an open panel at 4S in Seattle this year on the tech entrepreneurs who are trying to build new cities/states (e.g., Prospera, California Forever)

For more info, click here (www.4sonline.org/accepted_ope...) The panel is #185 :)

Based on 5 years of engagement in a community greenspace (through the pandemic), I've been thinking & writing about how urban life has become increasingly mediated/isolated & what this means for the hopes for - and inequalities in - place-based environmental activism. LMK if you'd like to join!

The NY Metro Seminar Environmental History is workshopping a new paper about why remote and independent workers have found solace from alienated lives in community gardening. We'll meet at 2 pm 2/12 on Zoom with @marcdo.bsky.social

"Many women in academia weren’t delaying parenthood by choice. Rather, they found themselves unable to reconcile their biological clocks with the unpredictable, demanding pace of an academic career."

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

If there are other lists of scholars/activists in the STS/ critical HCI space, I'd love to follow : )

Excited to move into this app. For academics studying work & tech who want to make the switch from T/X: @mathewiantorno.com has made it even easier for us! He created a Labor and Technology "starter pack” here: go.bsky.app/UMaa7T3
