On June 13th I will be joining a discussion at Saybrook
‘New media technologies and strategies are transforming the nature and potential of social activism—from their novel use in the Obama campaign and administration, and in nonprofit organizations, to their deployment by social movements such as the “Twitter Revolution” in Moldova. In this seminar, we will reflect upon these changes, learn some of the skills necessary to utilize these technologies and strategies effectively, critically assess the comparative strengths, weaknesses, and social implications of newer and traditional forms of social change, and consider the impact of the emergence of such technologies on our educational, research, and activist work at Saybrook’.
