A publication I co-authored with @ericbot about the adoption of internet communication technologies (ICTs) for civic purposes among community based organizations (CBOs) in the US, free and open access!
Opening our issue "Civic Organizations in an Age of Distrust", @ericbot (@EmersonCollege) and Rogelio Alejandro Lopez (@USC) study the way information communication technologies shape the nature of #CivicWork in community-based organizations: cogitatiopress.com/mediaandc… #OpenAccess

To the brown skater boys kick-flipping off concrete steps at the USC campus today, who kept skating despite surrounding adults interrupting them to say “it’s probably not a good idea because the cops will come and make you stop” - Respect. Keep skating.
Being a first-generation college student is like starting a sandbox video game and over-world map is covered in fog until you visit each location vs. inheriting the save file of an already completed game, where the map is uncovered and you have the best upgrades from the start.

Hi @MichelleMinguez, we met in 2014-15 for the VLPowerSummit (I facilitated a media making workshop), and it was great running into you at the #RoadtoChange events in CA. Would be great to follow up with you via email about a project on youth civics and media (dm?). Thanks!
