Book Alert! 😃 Our book "Digital-Environmental Poverty: Digital and Environmental Inequalities in the Post-COVID Era", co-authored with @marialauraruiu, has finally been published by Palgrave. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…. A thread🧵

📣 A Call for Action This study highlights the need for policies that address more than just access to the internet. Governments & institutions must invest in digital literacy programs & support for disadvantaged families. #PolicyChange #DigitalInclusion

📌 The Paradox of Hyperconnectivity More screen time didn’t guarantee positive outcomes. Excessive digital engagement was linked to academic decline, social isolation, & problematic internet use, especially among older children. #Hyperconnectivity #ScreenTime

Our latest research published in New Media & Society! Together with @kaldinauta and @marialauraruiu, our study "Children’s Digital Divide During COVID-19: A Cycle of Inequality" explores how the pandemic exacerbated digital inequalities for children shorturl.at/F5tQO

@kaldinauta, @marialauraruiu and @massimoragnedda examine how sociodemographic factors, influence the digital skills of English internet users aged 20-55, highlighting the complexities of digital exclusion beyond mere access. shorturl.at/lnkEN

Excited to receive the printed copy of our new book on Digital Environmental Poverty! @marialauraruiu and I explore the complex intersections between digital, socioeconomic, and environmental poverty. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… #DigitalPoverty #EnvironmentalJustice #DigitalDivide

💥 Excited to share our (@marialauraruiu ) latest paper published in @MCSjournal (Media, Culture and Society) on the intersection of digitalisation and environmental sustainability through the lens of Bourdieu's habitus. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/EETDTJH…

To address these inequalities, inclusive AI policies are essential. Governments, private sectors, and NGOs must collaborate to improve digital infrastructure, provide equitable access to AI technologies, and ensure diverse voices shape AI development. #InclusiveAI #AI4All

Even when AI tools are available, lack of skills to use them effectively can prevent individuals from benefiting. In rural India, AI-driven agricultural solutions could boost productivity, but low digital lit prevents farmers from leveraging these technologies. #DigitalLiteracy

AI & Digital Inequalities: A Thread 1/5 AI holds immense promise, but it also risks widening digital inequalities. Limited access to digital infrastructure and AI tools in the Global South can exacerbate socio-economic disparities.

Digital exclusion goes beyond lack of access—it's about unequal usage, skills, and benefits. The digital divide reinforces existing inequalities. #DigitalDivide #Inclusion #TechInequality. In this podcast @marialauraruiu discusses the results of our research.

@pverdegem @SageMedia_Comm @googlebooks @UoW_CAMRI @UoW_AIDataComm @UniWestminster It sounds interesting. Congratulations ✨On my reading list
