Reimagining Social Media and Social Movements in Crisis: A Workshop on Empirics, Theory and Research Guidance

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We propose hosting a design workshop style sprint to create a list of guidance for researchers who study the links between social media and social movements, based on the collective knowledgemaking of researchers and practitioners interested in varied social movements across global contexts.The guidance will be split into current empirical/tactical knowledge of social media use in social movements, theoretical provocations, and best practices for ethical and safety considerations for researchers working in this field.
