"Annoyed by 'difficult decisions' that never reflect 'all-affected interests'? Where do negative sentiments leave democracy if not in a fortress of the impossible? With @rodgers_scott, our #AAG CfP is an affirmative call to explore actually-existing democracy in digital cities.

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

Democracy is not ‘a sort of fairytale’ but an ordinary practice that (re)embodies itself in the here and now, however ‘insignificant’ and ‘unnoticed’ it may seem in digital cities

@ColinMcFarlane3 What about Ken Loach's films...

"I realized in that moment that the comfort that came from successful reality-checks came not from knowledge or certainty, but from a clear belief about the voices."

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

Such a fascinating statement from someone who suffers from and overcomes schizophrenia. Chance encounters make one realise that any life-affirming practice is not about 'knowing', but rather a belief of some sort that gives one a grip in the turning of the world.

[Richard Gipps @DrGipps]

The best thing about the excellent Schizophrenia Bulletin, IMO, is the first-person narrative series that they've run for decades. For example, this well-written account by a philosopher of how he manages his symptoms: https://t.co/YPxUk3CiiX

[vTaiwan @v_taiwan]

This idea is why vTaiwan collaborated w/ @ChathamHouse in @OpenAI's "Democratic Inputs to AI" project this year. With @UsePolis & citizen inputs, we're exploring #AIalignment principles, esp where human rights intersect w/ local cultural or legal diffs. Blog post coming out soon.

@VictoriaJEJones Thanks Victoria 😊

What a relief to see the results of my postdoc project published in the Urban Studies journal! I am so glad that I managed to complete my mission in Helsinki against all odds (incl. the Covid situation). 1/4

[Urban Studies Journal @USJ_online]

New #OpenAccess paper by @YuShanTseng, Christoph Becker and Ida Roikonen: 'Dialectical approach to unpacking knowledge-making for digital #UrbanDemocracy: A critical case of Helsinki-based e-participatory budgeting'.

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

Finally, I feel less embarrassed to say that I am an 'urban' geographer and ready to move beyond the PhD/Postdoc project. 4/4

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

Such collective moments and practices open up the epistemic enclosures that render an individualistic and aggregated democracy. More stories about how everyday struggles in Helsinki emerge through the OmaStadi platform will be included in my upcoming book. 3/4

@syperng Thanks for promoting my paper, you're very kind, Sung-Yueh!

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

@cooper_clair @BigDataSoc Thanks Clair! Hope you are doing well! :)

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

After two weeks of twitter detox, I am pleased to see this paper out in @BigDataSoc! Don't know whether I will survive in academia but at least I finally found a place for a paper that takes 3 yrs!

[Big Data & Society @BigDataSoc]

@YuShanTseng identifies conditions in which algorithmic–human relationships orient towards empowering citizens in decision-making through plurality, actionality, and power decentralisation. https://t.co/RvFCfnnJtX

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

@BigDataSoc Many thanks @AmooreLouise @ColinMcFarlane3 and @InfraGeography for their generous comments, and three reviewers for helpful suggestions and deep engagement with the paper.

[Yu-Shan Tseng @YuShanTseng]

@BigDataSoc Ive also written a short article explaining how I devised this conparative study from urban studies in BD&S blog https://t.co/LlRMZwurj2
