📺 At the QUT Digital Media Research Centre, Katharina Esau and Adele Webb from DelDemUCan recently ran a great APSA Australia workshop on Future-Proofing the Public Sphere - as part of which I was able to continue my conversation with fellow Laureate Fellow John Dryzek. Video of our chat is now online:

Went to a fifth-league match in Hamburg with the Leibniz-Institut für Medienforschung crew today. Nice day out, and some of those guys wouldn’t do too badly in the Isuzu UTE A-League…

2nd, a sneak peek into an innovative & novel approach w/ Kateryna 🇺🇦 Kasianenko to grasp polarization: practice mapping. Instead of usual social network ties (left) their idea focuses on how ppl behave on SM, grouping similar practices (right) -> promising new view on a complex issue. 2/2

Attending the symposium on social cohesion by Forschungsinstitut Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt & Leibniz-Institut für Medienforschung 1st up today is Axel Bruns with a keynote on two fascinating projects on polarization.

Huh. It's freezing in Hamburg and I had a little time this evening, so I accidentally wrote 2,500 words on this new methods article I was thinking about. OK. #nonhumblebrag

In Hamburg they make their own rainbows. 🌈
