⚽️ Super excited to see this out! ⚽️ The most fun I've had working on a paper thanks to @a_alrababah @wpmarble @salma_mousa_ @ImmigrationLab and of course @MoSalah! And thanks to @CUBoulder it's open access! 🥳

Excited to share that I wrote a book to help researchers get up and running studying social networks: Designing Empirical Social Networks Research

The advance copy of my book, Safe Havens for Hate, is here! It offers a deep dive into the moderation of harmful content on social media and explains why efforts to combat online extremism keep failing. Official release March 4! https://t.co/u4U5aCCwlX

In war, civilians act to survive: flee, join, etc. Sometimes they also protest, help others, organize themselves. What’s the scope of such efforts? Where, when & why do they happen? In @PoPpublicsphere @aasiegel and I looked to Syria's war for answers 🧵 https://t.co/STwmP49jbI

#OpenAccess from @PoPpublicsphere - Civil Organizing in War: Evidence from Syrian Facebook Communities - https://t.co/ZgzFOrWEr9 - @rbkhoury & @aasiegel #FirstView #Syria

Thrilled to share this analysis, and sneak peak of forthcoming research, with @aasiegel at such an incredible time for Syria. Activists, inside and outside the country, have been working for their cause and communities throughout a brutal war. 1/2
