Anthros, are you citing Clifford Geertz for coining the phrase “Deep Hanging Out?” Well, that’s wrong. "Deep Hanging Out" comes from Chicano poet-anthropologist Renato Rosaldo. (Thread) 1/

This attention to detail designing public archives one of my favorite things about digital humanities: "The site was designed to emulate the typography & layout of books put out in 1920s w/ accommodations...made to honor Cummings’s unconventional use of punctuation & white space"

What a nice thread from a fellow 🇹🇼 social computing researcher whose cool work in misinformation & dataviz I'm just learning about (👋🏼 & thank you!)

Every day inspired by Jane Mansbridge in my research: "Politicians were actually rather deferential to the process; instead of pushing their agendas in an aggressive way, they often kept quiet and listened to the citizens." news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

Loved this The New York Times interactive that basically teaches you how to have a good conversation AND walks you through the learning & psych principles behind each move! Because who can't use more research-driven practice on how to have better conversations? nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Proud to be advised by Liz Gerber, kicking off Social Computing Camp with this vision: HMW design systems collectively empowering us to be more humane, & not just to humans? What if we could design systems to give voice to melting glaciers, polar bears, urging us to take action?

Today, Mayor Daniel Biss kindly complimented—on live TV!—my ability to simultaneously deliberate, feedback & report out on community needs. As if it weren't what I spend all my waking hrs researching how social computing can solve 😉 Love doing the good work of comm engagement💙

“At some point when you have proven yourself and fought your way into institutions that were not built for you, when you’ve proven you can compete and excel at the highest level, you have to decide that you are done forcing yourself in."

My favorite thing about social media just might be when a poem pops into your feed and makes you stop everything you're doing and gasp

Giant thank you to Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz Governor JB Pritzker & Ram Villivalam for this big win for our Asian American community amidst this year of adversity. Onwards, indeed. chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-il…

No. No. No. "The giant forest had previously been a carbon sink, absorbing the emissions driving the climate crisis, but is now causing its acceleration, researchers said. Most of the emissions are caused by fires, many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production."

This thread is so spot on. Thank you @DanielReesLewis for the h/t and for continuing to teach, embody, and remind me of the lessons within!

Because isn't journalism ideally about empowering people to practice effective citizenship (broadly construed)? "Journalism [...] is about sharing & building durable power with communities [& organizers] are experts in building investment in community." medium.com/we-are-hearken…

Had the *best* time sharing our work designing systems & learning enviros for civic organizing w/ Hahrie Han 한 하 리 & P3 Lab today. Nothing more important in this work than building meaningful connections with the very scholars who laid the foundation for yours. Thank you for having us!

Surreal. Our team was just heading to the staging area for Evanston’s July 4 parade to march for the official start of participatory budgeting when we were notified of tragedy at the parade held by our neighbors in Highland Park. This one hits home. Take care of yourselves.

Feel like I'm only really understanding how my friends felt about Crazy Rich Asians when I discover heroines like Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭, Ai-jen Poo & Ailsa Chang are Taiwanese American. Wordlessly grateful for the example these women set representing us at the top of public service fields.

Appreciating this new resource from Vox Media that seeks to help people understand the context around word choices, especially for examining social, cultural, and identity issues. Geared towards journalists but super helpful + necessary for academics! languageplease.org

Starting a new participatory democratic effort in Evanston has been a remarkable journey, but must say our last idea collection event was extra special to me. Such a joy and honor to give voice to Evanston's Asian American community dailynorthwestern.com/2023/02/02/lat…

Eager to bring the rich learnings from my doctoral work to advance research on civic empowerment & keep working w/ community leaders, organizers, educators, and YOU to co-design more just, sustainable, equitable democratic futures. Thanks^100 Northwestern SESP, Center for HCI & Design + City of Evanston!
