Studio Assignment 4: Microblogging as Scholarship (or, Learning through Live Tweeting)

Instructions

The Background

Twitter’s got a bad rep. When most people think about the social media platform, they imagine a) brief snippets of news containing links to additional information, or b) the unsolicited thoughts of celebrities and the general public. Few can conceive of Twitter and other social media platforms as effective means of teaching concise writing with a creative twist for pedagogical purposes. In this assignment, we will attempt to use Twitter to this end.

Live-tweeting at conferences is growing in popularity. While at the Society of Classical Studies and Archaeological Institute of America joint annual meeting this past year, I tried my hand at live-tweeting many of the sessions that I attended; I realized that it changed the way I listened to and processed the research that was being presented. Live-tweeting is a series of focused tweets that offer a minute-by-minute rundown on what is being shared by the speaker/panelists and what questions are being asked by the audience—all in real-time. Why are scholars live-tweeting in the first place? We live in an age where many of us own smart phones. For this reason, many of us have the ability to promote and communicate knowledge on a globally accessible platform with just the click of a button. By broadcasting information via Twitter, we can uphold our responsibility as scholars to openly share our work with a broad audience rather than only with other academics behind closed doors.


The Rules

For this assignment, you will be attending and live-tweeting Dr. Donna Zuckerberg’s lecture entitled, “How Deep the Rabbit Hole Goes.”

  • You can either use your own twitter account for the assignment OR use the form (https://goo.gl/E5sypZ) created by Professor Lieberman for the assignment. Each submission of the form counts as one “tweet.”
  • You will need to produce a minimum of TEN (10) tweets during Dr. Zuckerberg’s talk and the question session that follows.
  • Remember that each tweet can only be 260 characters. (NB: If you are using the form, you’ll have to estimate what that looks like).
  • Remember that each tweet should include our class hashtag (#dhccstudio). Hashtags allow users to follow conversations related to a common theme on twitter.

The Fine Print

  • Listen carefully. If you are going to live-tweet a scholar’s presentation, it is only fair to quote his or her words correctly. Of course, the difficulty is that people talk quickly, but you should make an effort to methodically take notes and get their words right.
  • Be respectful. Twitter is a distinct but equally important form of academic debate, and in this vein, Twitter users should follow the same code of conduct that governs our behavior in the classroom.
  • Be fair. One of the many invaluable aspects of Twitter is its ability to document and archive debate in the discipline. Thus, we must be fair and balanced in how we report on presentations and portray a panelist’s argument, regardless of how we feel about the argument being made.

1 06/03/2019 16:15:25 The seats are starting to fill as Donna Zuckerberg prepares to give her talk. Front row remains nearly empty.
2 06/03/2019 16:21:08 Leigh Lieberman introduces Donna Zuckerburg. Talks about election night 2016 - Donna's article on Eidolon helped her feel more steady on her feet: "The next 4 years are going to be a dangerous time."
3 06/03/2019 16:22:18 Praises Donna's call to arms, talks about our responsibility as classicists and students to speak out.
4 06/03/2019 16:23:06 Donna takes the stage, cup of coffee in hand, to a brief applause.
5 06/03/2019 16:24:15 Professor Lieberman opens up the talk by giving an anecdote about her feelings during the last Presidential Election and how "seeing an article that made me feel a bit steadier on my feet." This article was from Eidolon, a site that Donna Zuckerberg founded. #dhccstudio
6 06/03/2019 16:24:45 Donna talks about her background studying red pill communities for 3.5 years. Noticed article on stoicism had surprising number of hits from reddit.
7 06/03/2019 16:26:03 Donna Zuckerberg opens up the talk by giving thanks, "Thank you for having me and for Leigh for having that introduction." #dhccstudio
8 06/03/2019 16:27:54 Donna having repeated issues with the screen going black, asks for assistance from Leigh.
9 06/03/2019 16:28:56 Donna Zuckerberg opens by up by highlighting an article that once caught her eye and eventually realizing that "a small yet significant source of traffic was coming from a site called Reddit," a site which attracts million monthly users. #dhccstudio
10 06/03/2019 16:29:25 The adaptation of stoicism by Red pill community is to establish moral superiority over irrational groups: women and LGBT communities.
11 06/03/2019 16:30:03 Dr. Zuckerburg points to one of Eidolon's articles "why is Stoicism having a cultural moment" and how it was cited in one of Reddit's discussion threads on Stoicism's cultural moments. She realizes that contemporary stoicism has been used to assign moral superiority to those who are believed to have "emotional control" over themselves (typically men, and white men). #dhccstudio
12 06/03/2019 16:31:55 Donna Zuckerberg describes the Red Pill as "a community that is large and growing." This term comes from the Matrix, where there is red pill and a blue pill. #dhccstudio
13 06/03/2019 16:32:30 Donna defines red pill community as white males, between 18-35, mostly religiously unaffiliated united by belief in superiority of white men.
14 06/03/2019 16:32:41 Dr. Zuckerberg makes an important distinction between Stoicism vs stoicism: general classical philosophy vs emotional control over disempower communities. #dhccstudio
15 06/03/2019 16:33:51 Red pills primary grievances: higher male prison population, higher violence rates, more women in education, false rape allegations.
16 06/03/2019 16:34:02 Dr. Zuckerberg talks about “the Red Pill” society, a group of people who think that white supremacy and white privilege is a result of apex fallacy. Dr. Zuckerberg goes on to list out the Red Pill group’s examples of how men are discriminated against (examples such as men are more likely to commit suicide or be accused of rape) #dhccstudio
17 06/03/2019 16:35:19 On March 6, 2019 in Claremont, CA, Donna Zuckerberg says that "at its core, the Red Pill comprises of people, 3/4 men, white, heterosexual, politically conservative, and the ages of 18-35." #dhccstudio
18 06/03/2019 16:36:04 As Red pill evolved to include Pick-up artists, Incels, #Gamergate, alt-right (light), and other groups. As it expanded, its ideology becomes more murky.
19 06/03/2019 16:36:32 According to the talk, white, heterosexual, 18-35-year-old men constitute the majority of the organization "Red Pill," which holds the belief that its members are discriminated against in the contemporary society. Men's rights is a major theme in the Red Pill. They see many ongoing laws and public policies as discriminatory against men. In 2014, the Red Pill embraced the alt-right white supremacy as a defender of the western civilization. The election has made the Red Pill even more active in regional spheres.#dhccstudio
20 06/03/2019 16:37:30 Red pill narrative: social policy changing to benefit women or other marginalized groups is downfall of western civilization compared to men's ultimate power in ancient world especially Greece and Rome.
21 06/03/2019 16:38:50 Dr. Z reminds us to CONTEXTUALIZE The Red Pill males rights activists's claim of how white hetero men convince themselves they are discriminated against in our current society based on eg. stats on being accused of sexually assault. Let's unpack their politics #dhccstudio
22 06/03/2019 16:39:45 "Men of the Red pill do not really care about understanding classics. They care about using classics to justify their worldview".
23 06/03/2019 16:41:09 Donna Zuckerberg points out how people use the study of the Classics. She points out that some people use the Classics to justify their own view. #dhccstudio
24 06/03/2019 16:41:30 She brings out earlier publications as a reference for how events and (red pill) groups in the 90s use classics as a way to push forward their own private agendas. #dhccstudio
25 06/03/2019 16:41:50 Many members of the alt-right love Sparta for their military dominance.
26 06/03/2019 16:42:10 Dr. Z: these white males conservatives use classics to justify their pre-existing political views.
Are we also guilty of using our elitist education to do anything similar?
27 06/03/2019 16:42:13 The real message behind Red Pill's campaign is that men are superior, and men deserve to be in charge. Ancient Sparta has been particular attractive to those in the Red Pill community, perhaps because the city-state was so committed to ethnic purity, Members believe that although their views about masculinity are retrospective these views have historical roots and are based on historically-tested biological evidence. #dhccstudio
28 06/03/2019 16:43:38 Red pill communities argue Ovid's "seduction manual" proves that "All women are like that" (AWALT)
29 06/03/2019 16:44:41 “Not all Woman are like that” is similar to the “Not all men” quote sparks a discussion about how men stress that if they aren’t sexist, then they can remove themselves from the problem. “Not all Woman are like that” seems to indicate that Male desires are more important than Female boundaries. #dhccstudio
30 06/03/2019 16:44:42 Donna Zuckerberg uses the the acronym NAWALT as a signifier for men, meaning "Not All Women Are Like That." Similarly, the acronym, "Not All Men" exists. #dhccstudio
31 06/03/2019 16:44:43 Donna having cord replaced after monitor frequently goes dark. Does not seem to fix the issue. Assistant is "so sorry".
32 06/03/2019 16:45:06 Donna Zuckerberg introduces this notion within the Red Pill community that NAWALT - Not All Women Are Like That, where the men within this community like to believe that ALL women are like that (holding negative traits), and use ancient beliefs to support this. #dhccstudio
33 06/03/2019 16:46:21 Donna now gets a second cord replacement, does not fix issue. Donna seems to remain relaxed, announces a brief break to fix issue.
34 06/03/2019 16:47:05 Can’t wait to hear Dr. Zuckerberg’s talk “How Deep The Rabbit Hole Goes”, on the alt-right's obsession with classical philosophy is bananas! #dhccstudio
35 06/03/2019 16:47:32 The Red Pill: using classics to justify the flexibility of consent. Does that sound familiar to you? in how people bend interpretations of "objective" & "legitimate" texts? eg. religion? #dhccstudio
36 06/03/2019 16:47:48 The red pill community is a garbage fire of insecure men using misogynistic interpretations of stoicism. They deem a passionate commitment to social justice, as being irrational and a moral failure, I deem them as cowards. #dhccstudio
37 06/03/2019 16:47:49 How could men of the Red Pill community justify sexual assault and objectification of women by abiding by the words of dead white men? #dhccstudio
38 06/03/2019 16:49:12 How does the man box work in classics?
39 06/03/2019 16:49:26 Donna appears to be calm as the setup is being looked at. She now shrugs and smiles at Prof Lieberman.
40 06/03/2019 16:49:26 How does the misogyny apply to interpreting excavation discovered?(ex.focus on only men's role in war)
41 06/03/2019 16:49:31 Dr. Zuckerberg gives a good introduction to the 'Red Pill' community & brings forward interesting reasons on why the men in this community think the world is unfair to them including how men are more likely to be victims of violence & false rape accusations
42 06/03/2019 16:49:42 what made the trend of using classics for misogynical purpose?
43 06/03/2019 16:51:09 "Not all women are like that" & "all women are like that" not really the point Dr.Z is making but i wonder if they are equally as toxic? #dhccstudio
44 06/03/2019 16:51:12 After a few minutes Donna resumes her talk with the screen finally working. Donna jokes about how the tension should have been building up to this point in talk.
45 06/03/2019 16:51:27 So interesting how online communities are wedging their way into academic settings, informally of course, but the fact that a classist has to deconstruct the intersection of their ‘trolling’ with her area of expertise, is blowing my mind. #dhccstudio
46 06/03/2019 16:52:37 Donna proceeds to lecture from her notes, continues with overview of Stoicism. The red pill focuses most on the late Stoic era because this is where the most texts survive from.
47 06/03/2019 16:53:37 Ovid is not the only author that comes out in Red Pill's discussion. The writings of Xenophon, Hesiod, and other authors have also been used to attack women, who are portrayed as historically inferior, weak, and "slutty." The use of stoicism is particularly widespread in the Red Pill community, which is only interested in the late period philosophy of stoicism and offers de-contexualized interpretation. #dhccstudio
48 06/03/2019 16:53:46 Stoicism: "Only true good is virtue. Health and wealth are not good but merely preferable ... not worth getting upset about false impressions"
49 06/03/2019 16:54:48 Stoicism works well with the Red pills focus on self improvement.
50 06/03/2019 16:55:24 "The goal of stoicism is a lack of passion". How do these men of the Red Pill community eat, breathe, and live through stoicism but do so without passion? #dhccstudio
51 06/03/2019 16:55:36 Stoicism focuses explicitly on self improvement. What did you do today that helped to improve yourself? In what regards did you do to become better? #dhccstudio
52 06/03/2019 16:55:41 Donna Zuckerberg introduces stoicism to the audience, for those who are not familiar with it. Stoic ethics says that health and wealth are only preferable and "Stoicism focuses on self-improvement." #dhccstudio
53 06/03/2019 16:58:49 Stoicism could be a benefical and helpful idealism in modern day society. This will help men process and develop healthier mindsets. Stoicism is a form of self reflection and could help prevent problems that men outside the red pill might be dealing with. #dhccstudio
54 06/03/2019 16:58:49 Donna Zuckerberg poses that Stoicism may be a beneficial philosophy for many people today, especially with its emphasis on self-reflection. "Adopting a philosophy of life is a bigger deal and cannot be reduced to life-hacking." #dhccstudio
55 06/03/2019 16:59:19 Traditional Stoic view of philosophy is centered on a lack of passion. It praises rationality and seeing things from the "right" way and disdains emotions. Stoicism is popular in 21st century, perhaps because it could be beneficial to many people in the contemporary world. The doctrine believes that both men and women have rationality. However, Red Pill articles like to talk about how stoic views guide men as of how to live a good life and attacks the imperfect emotionality of women. #dhccstudio
56 06/03/2019 16:59:36 Ancient Stoicists believed that women also had potential to acheive rational thought. Why hasn't red pill community adopted this belief?
57 06/03/2019 17:00:06 The Incel community is so upsetting. Kudos to Dr. Zuckerberg for being able to break down the group's history. & To be frank policies fundamentally discriminatory to men are few and the hardships men face in society, I assure you can be traced back to white-supremacy, hetero-hegemony and paternalistic values. #dhccstudio
58 06/03/2019 17:00:15 Stoicists view anger as bad and thus angry groups (black men or women) are inferior.
59 06/03/2019 17:01:07 Stoicism has also been used for the Red Pill group’s own agenda, helping them transform “from angry white men to the only people brave enough to speak out.”#dhccstudio
60 06/03/2019 17:01:10 When white boys cry about girls not wanting to get intimate and then turn to stoicism or the “dead white men” for answers about why, truly all they’re going to find are texts they honestly do not have the skill set to read. Unfortunate that the U.S public educational system and late-stage capitalism produces such ill-equipped and insecure men #dhccstudio
61 06/03/2019 17:01:56 stoicism - transforming angry white men yelling through a computer to acknowledging the bravery of these men "speaking" the truth #dhccstudio
62 06/03/2019 17:01:59 The pick up arts community for some reason think that ancient philosophers only wrote about white men being irresistible and superior to women…? Those philosophers could not care less about your “pick up game” unless that game is about picking up some common sense and critical thinking skills, which y’all obviously lack. #dhccstudio
63 06/03/2019 17:03:20 Donna shows twitter comments she get from members of the red pill community using Stoicism and Marcus Aurelius to argue with her.
64 06/03/2019 17:03:25 Donna Zuckerberg presented screenshots of previous comments wanting to involve her in a debate. Donna Zuckerberg then engages the audience to ask how many people would argue about politics over the internet, one person raised their hand. #dhccstudio
65 06/03/2019 17:05:39 Google presents stoicism to be the endurance of pain or hardship, but the Red Pill community appears to be translating this word to mean masculinity, strength, and truth #dhccstudio
66 06/03/2019 17:05:57 Thank you Dr. Zuckerberg for clearly explaining Incel logic: everything that does not related to virtue becomes in-different, and so something that negatively affects your prosperity is neither inherently good nor bad, it should not even be thought about. To be of good character, morally right, one needs to be DISPASSIONATE. #dhccstudio
67 06/03/2019 17:06:26 The Red Pill: your regular quote of the day doesn't help you in this white-male-discriminating world? Try Stoic self-help quote of the day! where we keep convince you how your struggles and failures is bc the system is rigged against straight white men. #sarcasm #notreallysarcasm #dhccstudio
68 06/03/2019 17:06:36 Being chronically dispassionate sounds alot like depression to me, why is this group celebrating an illness so many people struggle with? #dhccstudio
69 06/03/2019 17:06:43 The “Bro-ic” claims to only want to help and improve men. This belief is essentially the same as the ideals of Stoicism #dhccstudio
70 06/03/2019 17:06:57 Could it be that they are projecting their deep insecurity about not living upto expectations about success and happiness that late-stage capitalism promises onto everybody else? Could it be that hyper-masculinity is fundamentally corrosive to individuals?! Yes! #dhccstudio
71 06/03/2019 17:07:53 If is it necessary to apply a modern interpretation in order to prevent it from being used as a misogynical weapon, where do you bring the standard of interpretation?
72 06/03/2019 17:08:01 Red Pill men state that they are socially pressured to be stoic while women are allowed to feel emotions. Sure, I guess but that still doesn't mean that "white men are better or that they deserve to be in charge of everything" as they believe should be the case #dhccstudio
73 06/03/2019 17:08:02 BRO-ICS!! That's what they call themselves? Stay-calm, stay-calm everybody. #dhhcstudio
74 06/03/2019 17:09:05 Donna proceeds to analyze books advocating Stoicism for self help.
75 06/03/2019 17:09:33 Because emotional control was seen as an indication of "moral superiority" in traditional stoic thoughts, present Red Pill users deploys this argument to attack feminists who are perceived as "angry." Contemporary stoicism encourages one to focus exclusively on how one can live a good life without concerning the good of the community as a whole. Our presenter introduces books whose interpretations of stoic views can be greatly problematic becuase they advocate that stoicism is not for the masses but for the masculine men, only. This claim has a strong sexist touch. #dhccstudio
76 06/03/2019 17:10:13 Funny how the alt-right “having-game” community asks “how are you improving yourself to” focusing on aesthetic accomplishment and dispassioned behavior, but doesn’t ask “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BE A RESPECTFUL HUMAN BEING AND DE-CENTERING YOUR IDENTITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE INTERSECTING POWER STRUCTURES WHICH DISADVANTAGE NON-CIS WHITE MEN” #dhccstudio
77 06/03/2019 17:12:31 Dr. Zuckerberg asked if we would debate with these bro-ics. Only two people raised their hand. They are brave brave souls. I guess I really am just one of the over-emotional women that are making the world a more unfavourable place for men. That's fine with me! 🙂 #dhccstudio
78 06/03/2019 17:13:14 Donna Zuckerberg mentions how some men are inherently interested in stoicism even besides the so called social pressure put on men. Thus it is wrong to make stoicism all about men as it emphasizes how women are just way more emotional- YES YES YES! #dhccstudio
79 06/03/2019 17:13:27 Red pill belief that only men can control their anger to act rationally. Donna transitions to why feminists and African Americans have been using angry speech.
80 06/03/2019 17:14:05 Belief that activist anger is necessary to cause social change.
81 06/03/2019 17:14:39 What grounds for classics are used by radical feminists?
82 06/03/2019 17:15:05 Bell Hooks, Audre Lorde, and Soraya Chemaly discussed within the same talk about stoicism and it's appropriation by a hateful group of 21st century men-children...?! This is the kind of scholarly work I live for! @Dr.Zuckerberg #dhccstudio
83 06/03/2019 17:15:21 Donna Zuckerberg poses the question: What is the best way to respond to Red Pill stoicism? #dhccstudio
84 06/03/2019 17:15:26 Donna poses question of how to deal with red pill Stoicism and their co-opting of ancient beliefs.
85 06/03/2019 17:15:40 The best way to respond to red pill stoicism is to critique the writers for the misreadings. But the writers refuse to engage meaningfully to these counter arguments.
86 06/03/2019 17:17:07 Is misuse of Stoicism inevitable and something that getting angry about is irrational or is it an injustice that we can correct.
87 06/03/2019 17:17:29 The new stoic movement is problematic because it imposes the idea that women are "emotionally fragile" and of gender stereotype. Many Red Pill users believe that they are the only ones (as opposed to women) who are able to put their emotions under effective control. Activist critics of the new stoic movement see the "anger" as necessary to systematic change, and advocate that stoics should be applied to care for the well-being of all people. What is the best way to respond to Red Pill members and their reading of the stoic texts? One traditional way is to acknowledge their superficial reading of the texts. We must also make sure that these stoic campaigns do not transform into systematic influences. #dhccstudio
88 06/03/2019 17:17:43 Donna finishes to a long round of applause and opens the floor to questions.
89 06/03/2019 17:18:31 First question is about homosexual relations in ancient Greece.
90 06/03/2019 17:19:12 Red pill community is anti LGBT, curiosity about gay male relationships in Greek Classics? The central tent of red pill ideology os the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at the same time and view that as a strength. But honestly, they don’t care, they are happy to ignore these facts.
91 06/03/2019 17:19:15 During the question and answer session following the talk, there was a question about the Red Pill community being anti-LGBTQ and what their reactions possibly could have been to ancient gay male relationships? #dhccstudio
92 06/03/2019 17:19:53 In the end, I like how she brought up a distinction between a stoic and a non-stoic response to the red pill community, recognizing how the red pill community stirs up her emotions irrationally sometimes. It is important to "lessen the impact of the injustice" done by the red pill community agendas. #dhccstudio
93 06/03/2019 17:20:11 The men of the Red Pill community are able to turn a blind eye to concepts or ideas that disturb them (LGBTQ+ relationships in ancient Rome and Greece), but turn to focus on ancient beliefs of the inferiority of women... interesting #dhccstudio
94 06/03/2019 17:20:41 Bell Hooks: "[Rage] is an appropriate response to injustice."
TRP: well then lets put "rational white males" in charge bc they are stoic.
How do we response to TRP appropriation of ancient literature? To actually understand and recognize the context of greek&roman texts and why they are appealing to the alt-right to develop our own defense mechanism against their politics. #oopsidkhowlong280charactersis #dhccstudio
95 06/03/2019 17:21:15 Question: what about the place of stoicism in the right-wing community? did the Red Pill's approach come from something in the right-wing community or it was an original idea? Answer: "Red Pill presents a more extreme, online pattern. " #dhccstudio
96 06/03/2019 17:21:15 How does stoicism help the oppressed and oppressors?- A question that is important to ask in order to understand the positionally of the men part of the red pill community and the ones outside it.
97 06/03/2019 17:21:39 Dr.Zukerberg noted prominent stoics advocated for female education and disavowed slavery. Alt-right prominent bro-ic bloggers are committed to stoicism only insofar as it justifies their ontology that rejects the woes of any other group of persons who do not look like them. #dhccstudio
98 06/03/2019 17:22:34 Regulations of Google searches due to negative buzz words popping to the top: Better AI and algorithms need to get better, and that works better if there are more than just white men writing them.
99 06/03/2019 17:24:16 In regards to ranking search results, Donna Zuckerberg answers a question by saying that better algorithms and AI along with not only having white men in charge of the algorithms, could help with the rankings. #dhccstudio
100 06/03/2019 17:25:49 Racism seems to be less important than sexism. In the "fragile ~" article of Eidolon, mentioned as a spectrum of elision, what kind of solution can come up with such a problem?
101 06/03/2019 17:26:23 Her research this topic is undeniably tough because of the ruthless stuff you read online that affects you emotionally and mentally. It was interesting to learn about Donna Zuckerberg's self-care strategies including going to the boxing gym and petting her dog.
102 06/03/2019 17:26:31 Question about how red pill community offers social value to its members. Presenting more information doesn't really 'fix' these communities.
103 06/03/2019 17:26:58 What should we do to stop people from "sliding" into organizations like Red Pill? "Don't try to throw large scale information at them...Large scale social pressure is more effective" #dhccstudio
104 06/03/2019 17:27:12 Combining the Classics and Artificial Intelligence: Will there ever be a way to enact large-scale change or modify the algorithms to hide or oppress the online hate from the Red Pill community in a Google Search? #dhccstudio
105 06/03/2019 17:27:23 Q: how do you stop someone from "red-pilling"
A: large-scale social pressure & humor. not more information.
#dhccstudio
106 06/03/2019 17:29:01 Interesting the existence of NAWALT- Not all women are like that- a defense mechanism similar to 'not all men' are like that. Even thought one may not be contributing to the problem, one can't take themselves completely out of the equation and live in ignorance #dhccstudio
107 06/03/2019 17:30:07 Question: Do you find a space for discussion where you don't see information being processed/interpreted into problematic statements? Answer: It is completely possible to persuade people that they can try to improve themselves without ignoring the rest of the community and seeing everyone else is irrational. #dhccstudio
108 06/03/2019 17:33:10 So expert knowledge production and sharing about stoicism outside of academia is being weaponized by the alt-right, but, to what extent I wonder, can traditional knowledge sharing structures like academia have in outweighing and diminishing the impact of Incels in the long-run?
109 06/03/2019 17:33:52 Donna says humor and social pressure can pull people back who are on the fence about the red pill community, but has no idea how to convince people already in the red pill community, "at least from my positionality".
110 06/03/2019 17:34:48 This talk has made me think about, the ability of false interpretations of areas of knowledge can so easily become truisms because of the architecture of the internet and the extent to which social capital verifies knowledge as truth . #dhccstudio

115 06/03/2019 17:36:21 In short,, how does internet culture make space for traditionally verified (peer-reviewed/academic) knowledge? #dhccstudio
116 06/03/2019 17:36:42 As people begin to leave, Leigh thanks Donna and she receives another round of applause.
117 07/03/2019 09:59:58 Dr. Zuckerberg's talk was important in highlighting important issues related to toxic masculinity on digital platforms. It just makes us think about the digital footprint we are capable of leaving that can't be erased and how it affects the world. Her lens as a classicist brought this point home.
