Today in my (inaugural!) AI & Society class, students did a version of this "future news" activity: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I like this as a nice positive note to end on!
My favorite future headline? "AI Ethics Become Core College Requirement." The catch is that it's for the year 2046.
Had a wonderful #ICA25 getting to present my Prison TikTok research, participate on a wonderful panel on platform pasts, and (re)connect with many colleagues across the world. I’m thankful for all the conversations, ideas, and of course the dancing!!
Congrats!!!! So exciting 🎊
This past weekend I attended #LSAChicago2025. It was my first LSA and I loved getting to present on part of my Prison TikTok work on a panel about Prison Food Practices across the US and the UK. Until next time!

Ooo yes!! Can’t wait to read 🎊
Had the terrific pleasure to read and review Patricio’s book. A piece anyone interested in cultural sociology, gender, sexuality and history should read (and incorporate in their syllabi).

New article out!
In the build up and aftermath of BLM 2020, Black Hollywood often critiqued the industry for its interest in their pain. We find evidence they were right.
We analyzed streaming platforms and found most disproportionately marketed Black trauma over joy or more complex narratives.
A tweet from scientist Jessica Rose incorrectly sharing an academic article to support vaccine misinformation.
Even scientists share scientific articles without reading them!
I recently published an article calling out a scientist for spreading anti-vax misinformation. The scientist just tweeted my article out... as if it supported their anti-vax agenda 🤦♀️
