My latest peer-reviewed article is now LIVE in @icsjournal! ✨🏡 I observed how Twitch streamers negotiate "visibility" at the intersection of platform infastructures & domestic surfaces.
(This marks the 3rd major paper from my PhD work):

Rest assured, Canada will absolutely fumble this because we managed to blame immigrants for the premiers’ inability to do their jobs when it comes to building housing and not letting healthcare collapse.
What's up, fellow docs? Today, I defended my PhD on Twitch livestreaming & the platform work of playing-at-home!
Waves of thanks to all who got me over the finish line: my valiant committee, my pals & anyone who let me watch them play a game 🎮 (1/2)
I’m ALSO incredibly privileged to continue this work as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at @AlbertaUArts !
Stay tuned (& get in touch) for further collaborations on platform-dependent work, creator cultures & “WTF Is That on My Internet!?!” Studies (name pending). (2/2)

I will be heartbroken if I can't fly to Toronto on Sunday but my god, @AirCanada, your workers deserve so much better. I talk to flight attendants all the time and every single one is burnt out, frustrated with their working conditions and many are angry. They deserve better.

From Ukraine🇺🇦 to Gaza🇵🇸, Syria🇸🇾, Lebanon🇱🇧, and now India🇮🇳 & Pakistan🇵🇰, creators use SM platforms to make their conflicts more visible. They're curators, eyewitnesses, and living archives of atrocity. We (@moaerikssonkrut) call them *War Influencers*; OA paper @pandsociety 🧵

The brill @thechristinet reminds us that whether we "like it or not, we associate height with power”; great piece about how in politics, stature is not just symbolic for us but can shape credibility, leadership perception, and even electability!👇
Got measuring tape? I’m quoted in @TorontoStar today to explain how digital platforms make us “height police” our 🇨🇦 politicians as if they were online celebrities or Hinge matches 🫢 How does your pick stack up? 📐
