On Tuesday 3 October we'll have the privilege to host @tpoell at @DipartimentoSPS @LaStatale for a research seminar. His (& @brookeerinduffy & @gamespacenl) work on platforms and cultural production has become a pivotal reference in the scholarship on platformization. Come by!

@doktorplirtz About the same sense of dread tho

With the (for now) benevolent weather of Lake Como, we kick off the day's first lesson with Ilir Rama (@Filooou) on "Epistemology and Techniques of Tracking Methods." 📚 Exciting times ahead! #DMCS23 #ConsumerCult

@PhDVoice This would actively exacerbate inequalities in academia. The solution is worse than the problem smh

PhD students, and academics in general, are not paid enough, especially given the inflation. This is a major problem that is forcing many below the poverty line, and out of academia. To solve this problem, we’ve created a platform where academics can earn more money from their academic skills that they already have. It’s called “Academic Tasks Solutions” (@Academic_Tasks on Twitter, make sure to follow). It’s kind of like “Fiverr” for academia where academics can list academic services to help other academics, and get paid for them. For example, you might be good a programming. Posting a job where you can write codes for other academics can earn you more money. Or, perhaps you’re good at transcribing interviews. There are hundreds of thousands of academics who have interviews that need to be transcribed. By offering this academic service, you can earn more money. Or, maybe you’re good at making figures and images. EVERY academic needs good figures, and most of us don’t know how to make them. Providing this service allows every academic to get someone to help them make good figures for their research. Or, perhaps you have experience in a particular method, like running western blots. Many academics need to learn how and don’t have the expertise around them to learn from. By offering to teach them, they get to learn how to do it, as well as the tips and tricks for making it work better, and you earn more money. Or, maybe you’re good at writing CVs and helping people get jobs. Posting jobs to help academics with their CVs or other aspects of their job hunt will enable you to make more money. Or, perhaps you are good at statistics and can help someone determine the “p-values” of their work. Post a job offering this service and earn money off of this skill. These are just a few skills you might be able to offer, but they don’t even scratch the surface. You have so many skills to offer. Be creative and post jobs on every skill you have because there are academics out there who need them. Academic Tasks Solutions is a true community where academics help each other, and get fairly rewarded for their skills. All academics have valuable skills that they’ve developed through working in academia. Academic Tasks Solutions provides a way for you to make the money you deserve from them. And Academic Tasks Solutions operates on academic conduct where academics get acknowledged for their work. How does Academic Tasks Solutions work?...👇 @Academic_Tasks #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

👾 Move fast and break things 👾 The Italian DPA has already addressed our complaint. 💫 What will the tech giant reply to the preliminary inquiries? PH has 20 days to answer. garanteprivacy.it/home/docweb/-/…

Feel free to take a strictly consensual peek at the paper, if that's your thing (no kink-shaming) The professional pornographic perusers that made this science are: @luciabainotti @GiuliaGiorgi14 @silviasemenzin @afrontiercity GiuliaCorona @Salv_Romano tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Seems like Pornhub is not really big on consent, huh. Our research on Pornhub's algorithm is featured on Wired, in the context of the #stopdataporn campaign/litigation/coolness wired.com/story/pornhub-…

"Understanding Digital Societies", the seminar series curated by @m_barisione & I, organized as part of the PhD in Sociology and Methodology of Social Research @nasp_school @lastatale @unito, is finally here! Starts this week, full programme below. Come along if you're in Milan!

Absolutely based

Come and join us this summer on Lake Como for some digital methods under the sun*! * Availability of sunlight subject to variation

I am thrilled to share that, after an intense work, the paper "What is a meme, technically speaking?", co-authored by @richardrogers and yours truly, is out on Information, Communication & Society. dx.doi.org/10.1080/136911…
