#newPub #academicSky #commSky We extend Debord’s powerful concept of the ‘spectacle’ to #digital media but also identify its limitations in our comparative analysis of #Korean and English-language posts/networks about the Seoul stampede. Read #openAccess at journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It was a pleasure to share my research at #asen2025 on the role of bottom-up #digital nationalism — or what I call “user-generated nationalism” — in online hashtag wars between pro- and anti-Trump partisans. Looking forward to another day of insightful talks and discussions. #academicsky

Landed today in Budapest for the #asen2025 conference. Couldn’t wait to get to the Danube. Lovely weather too!

#AcademicSky #CommSky My article with Jin-A Choi on the spectacle of #suffering has been accepted in Convergence. We find stark differences in narratives about the Seoul stampede across #English and #Korean language posts. Lemme know if you want to a copy of the #preprint.

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 We all know activism is a marathon not a sprint. New paper shows how environmental activists maintain momentum over time. Hope you like it!

It’s not the merriest of Christmases in Gaza and Santa doesn’t have much to give to children, but he still visits them, shakes their hands and listens to their stories. Spare a thought for how families in Palestine, the land where Jesus was born, are spending Christmas as you enjoy the festivities.

One Hundred of Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my favourite novels of all time. #Netflix recently released an 8-part series based on it. I’m too scared to watch as I expect them to have caricaturized the characters and butchered the story. Has any watched it? Did you like it?

As a #Muslim I think this is awful. #Islam values human #dignity and #equality above everything else. And dignity and equality is what the #LGBTQ+ community wants as well. To deny them that is unIslamic. #ManU should have followed on their plans to support the LGBTQ+ community. #sportsky #football
