The most important paper of my thesis was finally published in Social Media + Society 🥳 In this paper we analysed in what ways the technological affordances of Instagram and Twitter shape the social norm dynamics of climate change publics. Few academic research has so far looked at the actual opportunities or constraints that platform architecture offers to users to shape social norms themselves in their digital environment, so I'm very proud of it!

The Routledge Handbook of Media and Technology Domestication

This Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of media domestication – the process of appropriating new media and technology – and delves into the theoretical, conceptual and social implications of the field’s advancement.
