🚨New publication alert! This one was a personal favorite of mine to work on, including fun facts about such topics as streamers farting into microphones for money. “Hot tubs, yoga pants, and gamba” is out now and open access in Platforms & Society. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
ALT Abstract for the new article "Hot tubs, yoga pants, and gamba: Twitch's controversial metas as cultural negotiations of platform governance" in Platforms & Society by CJ Reynolds.

New research shows big platforms like Twitch follow #TrustAndSafety norms, but region-specific sites often don’t.
Standards aren’t one-size-fits-all. We need to test and adapt so rules fit how people really use these spaces. @SageJournals journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Happy 1st birthday to this babe, published in @ica_jcmc.
Working on this study has made me pay attention to the invisible processes of every communication. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it (sorry not sorry).
My 2nd PhD article, written with @blakeplease, is out in @ica_jcmc!
We developed the new concept of value affordances of social media engagement features 👇(1/10)

You may recall there once was a pandemic & higher education moved online. @NicholasAJohn, @charlyjr, Andra Siibak, Christine Barats, and I studied #privacy implications of this move. Those are now published (open access) in New Media and Society: doi.org/10.1177/146144482412…

My research bridges media psych and Internet law/policy. I design experiments providing empirical support for concepts proposed by law scholars. My work informs the design of digital media systems that prioritize privacy for all.
