My first solo article & last PhD paper is out! In this #OA article published in @SocialMedia_Soc, I explore how platforms engage in corporate public relations campaigns – soft forms of governance – to negotiate social and political responsibilities. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20… 👇

It has been a privilege to get to think with the #DigitalValues crew since… 2019? The theoretical framework we present here is a proper cumulation of our work, and very relevant to anyone else interested in values, social media, and global communication.

The power of values for understanding social media is also their curse: they are everywhere. In an #openaccess article in New Media & Society, the Digital Values team presents an analytic framework for making sense of values in digital spheres: doi.org/10.1177/146144…

Imagine the conversations between Xi Jinping and the advisors who will show him this trend on US TikTok. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy

Sharing @rscarlets and I’s piece again given what’s going on today - such a moment of uncertainty given Trump’s explicit push for the Court to delay vs. their seeming openness to uphold the law today. techpolicy.press/the-tiktok-ban…

🥳Check out this collaborative piece with @soc_of_internet on the TikTok Ban Paradox published at @techpolicypress techpolicy.press/the-tiktok-ban…

New piece with @rscarlets: The TikTok ban won't work—it'll create exactly what it claims to prevent. Bans don't eliminate platforms, they transform them into less governable forms. Our analysis of the paradox at the heart of platform restrictions is out in @techpolicypress now:

Spot-on thread on the ‘linguistic trap’ of our so-called international academia 🌎 something that all of us from non-anglophone contexts struggle with regardless of how many years of ESOL we’ve done. p.s.: believe me, I’m much funnier (and hopefully smarter) in Portuguese 😅

@TomDivon These days, I actually prefer writing in English. BUT: It’s a different genre, more effort—and for me, it also meant losing some of my native language. Funny enough, writing and speaking aca German has gotten much harder for me after doing a PhD abroad. (2/2)

@TomDivon Absolutely agree with all of this! I wouldn’t call myself bilingual, though—since true bilinguals often grow up with two languages. I started learning English in first grade, and it took a lot of work (and overcoming anxieties) to get to where I am now. (1/2)

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).

Hey, I'm Dr. Scharlach now! 🎉 As of yesterday, my PhD thesis was officially approved! This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of my advisor @limor_shifman, mentor @blakeplease, the @digital_values fam, my committee members, friends, and family.
