🧵 (3/3):
But why should #COMMSky care? 🤔
Counterspeech is in need of a comprehensive communication-analytic based research perspective. Rarely do any current studies consider more than one focus among the stock concerns of who said what to whom in what context with what effects (Lasswell, 1948).
🧵 (2/3):
Additionally, I showcased how prior research has investigated the effects of counterspeech from various sources, highlighting how counterspeech interventions can mitigate the negative impacts of hate speech and support its victims.
For those who missed it 🧵 (1/3):
I presented a review and synthesis of the current literature on the triggers of counterspeech, focusing on the motivations that drive bystanders to intend to engage in counterspeech as a response to online hate messages.
Shining the spotlight on my great friends and colleagues (@kyungin-kim.bsky.social & @len-s.bsky.social). They crushed all their award presentations at #NCA2025!
Super happy to know we all recieved Top Paper Awards! 🔝📝🏆
Their accomplishments motivate me every day. Cheers to all of us! 🎉

I had the privilege of sharing my research on counterspeech, bystander intervention, source effects, and support for victims of online hate at the National Communication Association.

Since my early PhD days, I dreamed of conducting this study. Over time, I was fortunate to work with stellar colleagues, @lunafrauhammer.bsky.social , @tobiasdienlin.com and Manuel Cargnino who helped turn this vision into reality. The full publication: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Check out this theory-driven piece offering an important framework for scholars interested in how diverse media content can be used for intergroup socialization. Truly impressive work by @len-s.bsky.social to publish as a sole author while in grad school! @mediamosaiclab.bsky.social
Hi #COMMSky, do you research intergroup relations or entertainment media? If so, read my colleague @len-s.bsky.social's latest article in the Annals of the International Communication Association! 📄
In this paper, Len (2025) proposes the PMSIS model as a framework to (+) intergroup socialization! 🤝🏼
Excited to share my new paper with @garciaerick.bsky.social Xinyi Zhang & @laurentwang.bsky.social.
We ask: Do people see algorithmic bias as a risk—and do they feel capable of addressing it? Answer... It depends! More below 👇🧪 #commsky

Ahmed Al-Rawi found some great qualitative data on whether experiences w/ racism could have a (+) impact on democracy. Amazing work bringing empirical support to quant-crit discussions.
🔑 Takeaways: The biggest theme was white supremacy. Politicians received higher OHS and self-censored more often.
