We've been quiet lately as we get down to the work of preparing our special issue with New Media & Society, as well as the usual end-of-term frenzy. @HarryTDyer and I wanted to give a shout-out to our amazing reviewers and authors. #thankyou #understandingthesocial

There is plenty of room (and an urgent need) for research towards understanding the nature of how publics interact in Canada’s narrative of the #petrostate and #UNDRIP #TRC @UNHumanRights

Immensely pleased and grateful for @KCarrie, who just presented our paper ‘Issue mapping (anti) colonial public’s on Instagram’ at @SocialDigitalA2. Potent that it falls on today’s day of action supporting #WetsuwetenStrong #notresspass

[Chris Till @chrishtill]

#UnderstandingTheSocial @SocialDigitalA2 was an excellent day -looking forward to reading up on some excellent papers thanks to @jetsumgerl @HarryTDyer for organising

[Dr Ruth Flaherty @RuthFlahertyLaw]

Moving on to research close to my heart - @warwickuni's Shiyu Zheng with her paper 'How Chinese Fans use Social Media to Transnationally Engage in the Participatory Culture of Contemporary British TV Drama' #UnderstandingTheSocial #fanstudies @SocialDigitalA2

[chandell, phd @ChandellEnid]

Tumblr’s language is “straight up sexist.” Brilliant talk by @ysabelgerrard on social media’s algorithmic conflation between eating disorder hashtags and other gendered hashtags, like fashion. Concerning and all too real @SocialDigitalA2 #UnderstandingtheSocial

[chandell, phd @ChandellEnid]

Really appreciated the careful consideration and ethics of users’ “public” content by Nadine Kozak in her research on FOSTA resistance on social media @SocialDigitalA2 #UnderstandingtheSocial #SexWorkIsWork

[Dr Karen Cross @karenisnotcross]

First conference of 2019 ✔️and what a great conference it was. Could have spent days discussing at @SocialDigitalA2 Thank you @jetsumgerl and @HarryTDyer for such a fantastic event (could be a great annual conference😉) #UnderstandingTheSocial

Hey #UnderstandingTheSocial folks, tonight's informal rendezvous will be at The Bicycle Shop, 17 St Benedicts Street, from 7.30 - instead of Platform 12 (but just across the street) @HarryTDyer @SocialDigitalA2 https://t.co/WMJ5LWb9qu

ATTENTION #UnderstandingTheSocial attendees!

We have had to change the venue for the pre-conference social tonight at the last minute.

We will instead be meeting across the road at The Bicycle Shop, 17 St. Benedicts Street from 7.30.

Look forward to seeing some of you there!

Five more days to #UnderstandingTheSocial! Can't wait for @ginasue's keynote: 'Toward Network Solidarity?' which positions empathy and Durkheimian solidarity as crucial correctives for 21st Century social cohesion. On fire y'all

[SocialDigitalAge @SocialDigitalA2]

@ysabelgerrard @awfully_good Let's chat at the conference next week, as I might have some contacts :-)

[Data & Society @datasociety]

In their report, @amnadler, @mediated1 & @bostonjoan recommend interventions into the technical structures, institutional policies & legal regulations of digital advertising tech https://t.co/MQhA25T4bm

[SocialDigitalAge @SocialDigitalA2]

Looking forward to starting #UnderstandingTheSocial with @couldrynick's opening keynote about the impact of data & mediatization on the 'social': 'Deep Mediatization: Towards A Datafied Social Order'. Important ideas to begin 2019.
