'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<div>This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

* Online Security in the Middle East and North Africa. A Survey of Perceptions, Knowledge, and Practice. Authored by Rob Faris, Hal Roberts, Rebekah Heacock, Ethan Zuckerman, Urs GasserPublished August 01, 2011<br />
Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion. This talk is based on a research paper developed with my coauthor Dr. Mike Ananny. Link Ethan Zuckerman liveblogged a talk: http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2011/10/18/4237/<br />

* '''On workshop discussions:''' <br />
<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

Currently I am focusing on member commitment, organizational structure and culture, and mobilization. Some of my work is forthcoming in the British Journal of Industrial Relations. My work also analyzes the diffusion and adaptation of core organizing elements from the US to the UK and Germany and how these processes are moderated by institutional, socio-economic context. <br />

I have authored so far one book The Public Philosophy of ”Solidarity”. ”Solidarity” in 1980-81 from the perspective of the republican political tradition [in Polish] which was published in 2010. I covered there subjects ranging from sociology of social movements, through Polish, European and American political thought to the elements of literary criticism. I tried to explain Solidarity’s dynamics by placing its cultural identities in a broad Euro-Atlantic context, mostly in the context of the classical republican tradition which was so essential for the development of modern democracy. The book is based on my PhD thesis that has won numerous prizes, including the highly prestigious Prime Ministers's Award. <br />

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

= Participants = <br />
<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />

Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements?

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement'''<br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' = <br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brought together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who were in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop was hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
All workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.<br />

Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

= Participants = <br />
<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

= Participants = <br />
<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

* Online Security in the Middle East and North Africa. A Survey of Perceptions, Knowledge, and Practice. Authored by Rob Faris, Hal Roberts, Rebekah Heacock, Ethan Zuckerman, Urs GasserPublished August 01, 2011<br />
Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion.

<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

* '''On workshop discussions:''' A) EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Of the three, this is closest to where I spend my time thinking about these things. I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

* Online Security in the Middle East and North Africa. A Survey of Perceptions, Knowledge, and Practice. Authored by Rob Faris, Hal Roberts, Rebekah Heacock, Ethan Zuckerman, Urs GasserPublished August 01, 2011<br />
Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion.

* '''On workshop discussions:''' <br />
<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

* '''On workshop discussions:''' A) EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Of the three, this is closest to where I spend my time thinking about these things. I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

= Participants = <br />
<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />
March 21st, 2012 <br><br />
Harvard University- Cambridge, MA (Boston) <br><br />
Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

= Participants = <br />
<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

* Online Security in the Middle East and North Africa. A Survey of Perceptions, Knowledge, and Practice. Authored by Rob Faris, Hal Roberts, Rebekah Heacock, Ethan Zuckerman, Urs GasserPublished August 01, 2011<br />
Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion.

<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />

'''Workshop: Understanding the New Wave of Social Cooperation: A Triangulation of the Arab Revolutions, European Mobilizations and the American Occupy Movement''' <br><br />
9:00am-5:15pm <br><br />

Social media hashtag: '''#21M''' '''#occupyresearch''' IRC: #Berkman <br><br />
<br />
= '''Introduction''' =<br />
<br />
This one-day workshop brings together several groups of researchers: members of the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network who will be in Boston for the Council for European Studies conference (March 22 - 24); scholars at the Berkman Center; and researchers from institutions including the Harvard Kennedy School, MIT's Comparative Media Center, Northwest University and Boston College's'Movements/media Research and Action Project (MRAP).<br />
<br />
The workshop will be hosted in the Berkman Center at Harvard University and is organized in cooperation with the Council for European Studies (CES) European Social Movements research network and the collaboration of MIT Comparative media and Occupy Research. [[Organization credits]] <br />
<br />
'''Goals and Key Objectives''' <br />
<br />
At this event, we will undertake a historically grounded comparative approach that attempts to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and seeks to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We plan not only to investigate each individual case, but also to assess the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the workshop aims to analyze the particular details associated with each national/regional case and will endeavor to identify and discuss any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: <br />
<br />
* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' <br />
Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? <br />
<br />
* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' <br />
What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? <br />
<br />
* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' <br />
Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? <br />
<br />
'''Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
To achieve the overarching goal of "triangulating" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, we aim to: <br />
* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which will require drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. <br />
* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.<br />
* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.<br />
<br />
'''Format and methodology'''<br />
<br />
The workshop is intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop will avoid conference-style presentations and instead is designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format will be mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants are expected at this highly-interactive event. <br />
<br />
For each session, a moderator will introduce the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants will be invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session will finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we will assign a note taker and like tweeting.<br />
<br />
Please note that all workshop discussion will be audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion could be provided upon request (contact: mayo.fuster(at)eui.eu).<br />

OccupyData Hackathon 2: Data Visualization for the 99%!<br />
<br />
What: OccupyData Hackathon 1 brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets (see summaries by OccupyResearch, R-Shief, Fast Company, and Utrecht University). People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.OccupyData Hackathon 2 builds on the demos and tools from the first round, and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregated since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People survey, as well as other datasets people might want to explore. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone who’s interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can still join in remotely.<br />

<br />
This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop will include a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. We have endeavored to include an array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives. <br />
<br />
'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop will create the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants will come to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We see such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we ask that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware. <br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

* Online Security in the Middle East and North Africa. A Survey of Perceptions, Knowledge, and Practice. Authored by Rob Faris, Hal Roberts, Rebekah Heacock, Ethan Zuckerman, Urs GasserPublished August 01, 2011<br />
Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion.

<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />

Abstract: In the context of multiple crises – ecological, political, financial and geopolitical restructuring – there are emerging forms of social cooperation. In the Spanish case, we have seen some of the largest demonstrations since the country made its transition to democracy in the 70s with massive occupations of public squares, attempts to prevent parliaments’ functioning and citizen assemblies of thousands of people taking place in spring and autumn 2011. Large mobilizations are also taking place in other countries (such as Arab countries, Iceland, Greece, and more recently the United States). This research centered in the case of the Spanish State; analyzing its genealogy and the organizational logic that adopted connected to the use of the new technologies. In the Spanish case, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement played an important role in the rising and shaping of the mobilization. The campaign against "Sinde Law" (on restrictive Internet regulation) in December 2010 and its afterworld meta-political derivation into "Don't vote them" campaign (meaning do not vote for the parties which approved Sinde law) are considered a starting point and one of the trajectories that most contributed to the generation of the "Indignate"/15th of May mobilization cycle for a "True Democracy Now". Additionally, the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement has influenced the organizational logic of the "Indignate" mobilization (particularly in terms of new technologies usage for the collective achievement of common goals). The research first presents the role of the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement in the genealogy of the "Indignate" Movement in Spanish State. Then, it will be analyzed the commonalities and differences between both emerging forms of social cooperation (contrasting "digital commons" initiatives such as Wikipedia and "society commons" initiatives such as Square Occupations) that together suggest a sift of the format of collective action for mobilization and organization, and a shift to a more active and autonomous role of civic society in the network society. The research is based on the results of an a analysis of 145 initiatives connected to the Indignate mobilization in Catalonia and 28 interview to participants. The research report is in Catalan.<br />

* Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture and Dissent. Authored by Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris and John Palfrey. New Media Society 2010: 1225. <br />
Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.<br />

Abstract: Digital communication has become a more perilous activity, particularly for activists, political dissidents, and independent media. The recent surge in digital activism that has helped to shape the Arab spring has been met with stiff resistance by governments in the region intent on reducing the impact of digital organizing and independent media. No longer content with Internet filtering, many governments in the Middle East and around the world are using a variety of technological and offline strategies to go after online media and digital activists. In this report we describe the results of a survey of 98 bloggers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) carried out in May 2011 in order to study bloggers’ perceptions of online risk and the actions they take to address digital communications security, including both Internet and cell phone use. The survey was implemented in the wake of the Arab spring and documents a proliferation of online security problems among the respondents. In the survey, we address the respondents’ perceptions of online risk, their knowledge of digital security practices, and their reported online security practices. The survey results indicate that there is much room for improving online security practices, even among this sample of respondents who are likely to have relatively high technical knowledge and experience.<br />

* Public Discourse in the Russian Blogosphere: Mapping RuNet Politics and Mobilization. Published October 18, 2010. Authored by Bruce Etling, Karina Alexanyan, John Kelly, Rob Faris, John Palfrey, Urs Gasser. <br />
Key findings: We analyzed Russian blogs to discover networks of discussion around politics and public affairs. Beginning with an initial set of over five million blogs, we used social network analysis to identify a highly active ‘Discussion Core’ of over 11,000. These were clustered according to long term patterns of citations within posts, and the resulting segmentation characterized through both automated and human content analysis.<br />
Key findings include:<br />
+ Unlike their counterparts in the US and elsewhere, Russian bloggers prefer platforms that combine features typical of blogs with features of social network services (SNSs) like Facebook. Russian blogging is dominated by a handful of these “SNS hybrids.”<br />
+ While the larger Russian blogosphere is highly divided according to platform, there is a central Discussion Core that contains the majority of political and public affairs discourse. This core is comprised mainly, though not exclusively, of blogs on the LiveJournal platform.<br />
+ The Discussion Core features four major groupings:<br />
i) Politics and Public Affairs (including news-focused discussion, business and finance, social activists, and political movements)<br />
ii) Culture (including literature, cinema, high culture, and popular culture)<br />
iii) Regional (bloggers in Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel, etc.) <br />
iv) Instrumental (paid blogging and blogging for external incentives)<br />
+ Political/public affairs bloggers cover a broad spectrum of attitudes and agendas and include many who discuss politics from an independent standpoint, as well as those affiliated with offline political and social movements, including strong ‘Democratic Opposition’ and ‘Nationalist’ clusters.<br />
+ The Russian political blogosphere supports more cross-linking debate than others we have studied (including the U.S. and Iranian), and appears less subject to the formation of self-referential ‘echo chambers.’<br />
+ Pro-government bloggers are not especially prominent and do not constitute their own cluster, but are mostly located in a part of the network featuring general discussion of Russian public affairs. However, there is a concentration of bloggers affiliated with pro-government youth groups among the Instrumental bloggers.<br />
+ We find evidence of political and social mobilization, particularly in those clusters affiliated with offline political and social movements.<br />
+ The online ‘news diet’ of Russian bloggers is more independent, international, and oppositional than that of Russian Internet users overall, and far more so than that of non-Internet users, who are more reliant upon state-controlled federal TV channels.<br />
+ Popular political YouTube videos focus on corruption and abuse of power by elites, the government, and the police.<br />

* Paper: Tweeting the Revolution: agency, collective action, and the negotiation of risk in a networked age. <br />
Abstract: This paper looks at the impact of social media platforms on collective action. In particular, it focuses on spheres of activism where personal risk (bodily or otherwise) is the condition of participation. For this analysis, I discuss interviews conducted with Egyptian activists around the events of Tahrir Square. Issues of copresence, witness, and visibility are central to my discussion.

<br />
A) ''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. Which organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action?''<br />
<br />
I would add here: How the virtuality of online networks somehow reinstates a sense of community which was tactfully broken by the mastery of authoritarian regimes, particularly in the cases of Egypt and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
B)'' WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES. What is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration?''<br />
<br />
It is particularly interesting to tap into hierarchies embedded in the very horizontal networks produced by online social media: how these hierarchies unfold, how they become acknowledged and embraced, etc...The question could also elucidate issues of digital identities.<br />
<br />
C) ''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CASES. Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases?''<br />
<br />
Again, there is certainly a traceable connection between Tunisia's mobilization and Egypt's uprising the day Zeineddin Ben Ali fled. From skeptical mainstream media discourses of "Egypt is not Tunisia", to a euphoric hype on alternative and online social media, to Google Groups shared amongst thousands of users from the two countries to disseminate tips on how to handle police ahead of 25 January; the interconnectedness certainly exists. It becomes a question of how do we study this connection, and how do we trace it its evolution beyond these two countries and even the Arab World as a whole.<br />

I'm the love child of organizational, Goffmanian, and phenomenological sociology on one side of the family and math and computer science on the other. My inclination here is to think not first about emerging forms but existing forms -- we don't really have a very good conceptual vocabulary and understanding of social information behaviors and so everything that involves new technology tends to get called an emerging or new form. Some things are of course new, but others are recapitulations of existing forms, perhaps with changes on important dimensions (the obvious candidates - speed, cost, bandwidth, search). As for where to look, I'm interested in what people are trying to do and failing at, what gets used in October but disappears by January, what tool evolves into what tool, what kinds of functional substitution happen, what great ideas go nowhere, which tools used by one side baffle the other, etc. All very preliminary. And for one who plays in the gardens of visualization, simulation, networks, and the like, social media are also just one big curiosity shop.<br />

I covered there subjects ranging from sociology of social movements, through Polish, European and American political thought to the elements of literary criticism. I tried to explain Solidarity’s dynamics by placing its cultural identities in a broad Euro-Atlantic context, mostly in the context of the classical republican tradition which was so essential for the development of modern democracy.

* Ongoing Dissertation Work - "A City and Its Occupation (Occupy Philly and the Micropolitics of Social Change)." This is a long term project, begun prior to the emergence of Occupy Philly. I am both a research and participant, deeply involved with Occupy Philly in both senses. In the most simple sense, the project asks: Why does Occupy Philly look, sound, act, and transform in the way it does, and what can this tell us about contemporary social movements more generally? Here is a brief abstract of the current state of the project: "The emergence of the U.S. Occupy Movement (OM) has raised a host of complex questions about the nature of ‘social change’ in contemporary Western societies. This article represents the reflections of a young social movement scholar and Occupy participant, struggling to make sense of OM in terms of social movement scholarship and actual activist experience. Drawing on six months of ethnographic research within Occupy Philadelphia (OP), three preliminary insights are highlighted here, analyzed in relation to both ‘the study’ and ‘the practice’ of social movements. First, OP intimately reflects the city itself, its history and geography, tensions and dynamics. Analysis of this contextual relationship highlights the need to reevaluate the ahistorical, universalizing tendencies that pervade social movement literature. Rather than abstracting movements from their historical and cultural contexts, the case of OP suggests the importance of understanding a movement’s specific contexts. Second, close attention to individual OP participant experiences underscores how movement contexts offer significant insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of social movements. An analysis of the differential participation of Philadelphia Punks in OP demonstrates how grounded, culturally sensitive research can lend crucial analytical insights not currently accessible through approaches found in the literature. Finally, the methodological implications of the suggested approach are discussed, arguing that the literature’s fondness for ‘spectacular’ and explicitly ‘political’ social movement activity is incomplete and limiting. Greater attention should be given to understanding specific movement contexts, actual actors’ daily experiences and practices, and how these specific rationalities relate to the formation of activist networks and movement canopies."<br />

Current Research Note:''' Economic Contention and the Global Economic Crisis: the case of Greece''' Economic contention has recently surfaced in Western and Mediterranean regions, having earlier made its appearance in Latin American (Almeida 2007). In 2011 alone, economic-political contention is evident in anti-austerity protests, the indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab revolts for political and economic transformations. Economic change and its impacts are bearers of opportunities or threats for mobilization, as seen in the case of financial crises and the growing power of transnational corporations and global economic institutions (Kousis & Tilly 2005; Johnston & Almeida 2006; Almeida 2007). The development of electronic communications has also been considered as a new opportunity and threat for social movements of the past decade (McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly 2001; Rucht 2005; della Porta and Tarrow 2005). Inspired by the wider economic and political transformations of the 21st century my research considers the question: How does economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities, or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities? (Kousis & Tilly 2005). The research will begin by focusing in on Greek protests against austerity measures since 2010, and the ways in which they link with and reflect concerns in indignado, and occupy-city movements, as well as Arab mobilizations. Challenging conventional approaches, the research adopts a relational perspective to the study of political processes in Greece aiming to: a) offer preliminary evidence on citizen activism and claim making against the austerity policies and measures, b) search for the related economic, political, and media opportunity structures at the local, national and global level, 3) explore how time, place and sequence influence the unfolding of the related processes, and, 4) examine events as local manifestations of nonlocal perimeters. The ultimate aim of the research will be to explore economic change as a bearer of opportunity or threat, and to discuss the impact of economic change on particular instances of political mobilization. Funding permitting, the research aspires to explore claims making in peripheral or Mediterranean EU countries experiencing severe austerity measures; i.e. eurozone countries on EU/IMF bailouts: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and those receiving informal bailouts: Spain and Italy. In such a case, Political Claims Analysis will be applied to study how the claims of the challenging groups (activists, NGOs, networks) reflect those of parallel economic contention mobilizations (Arab, indignado, occupy), as well as by those they challenge (state and transnational global institutions and powerful economic groups). Mentions to 21st century environmental issues, such as climate justice, will also be explored. This research draws in part from my participation as Partner in the EC funded project “Mediterranean Voices: Oral History and Cultural Practices in Mediterranean Cities” (European Commission).<br />
