What a deeply touching journey! ✍️

Writing a collective diary with
Ellen Nathues and @MilenaKLey , we explored the power of vulnerability in academic writing and the strength that comes from writing toget-her.

The collection of lists ft. Academics on Mastodon (https://nathanlesage.github.io/academics-on-mastodon/) was desperately in need of one for Organization & Management scholars. No more!

Together with @heimstaedt, @MilenaKLey, we fixed that for you: https://osconjunction.net/2023/01/27/join-the-organidons-organization-and-management-scholars-on-mastodon/

And help the cause by sharing and boosting this invitation to your own followers!

Thank you!

As academic, neighbor, friend, and partner: be aware, keep your eyes open, reflect, and share these stigmatized groups’ stories.
#Contentmoderation affects all of us! 11/11

We see our role as #academics in forging supportive connections to stigmatized groups. However, as we write in out paper "our engagement and this study will never equal the pioneering work, compassion, societal impact, and care that the sex workers, activists, advocates, mothers, and allies in our data are accomplishing"! 10/11

However, this theoretical lens has its limits. In a twitter thread,
@bloggeronpole critically unpacked how our theoretical focus on practices and strategies as continuously constituted in interaction might fall short in acknowledging the speaker and their backgrounds:

With the apology, the protest collective #EveryBODYVisible took off. They got organized. By emphasizing solidarity with other stigmatized groups, they mobilized a collective voice to reconstruct the sex-work stigma more broadly. 7/11

We analyzed communicative practices of stigma management over time.

Our findings show how emphasizing difference to other stigmatized groups enabled pole dancers to regain communicative abilities.

Instagram apologized and (temporarily) lifted the ban for some affected users. 6/11

The #netnographic study focused on pole dancers and later sex workers, strippers and other stigmatized groups, protesting the #shadowban and the sex-work stigma on Instagram. 5/11

#Contentmoderation does exactly that: it cuts off important social and business relations. We argue that once affected, it is even harder to fight these stigmatization practices. 4/11

We theorize stigmatization as disruptive for a stigmatized group’s communicative connections to (non-)stigmatized others. Stigmatization communicatively separates affected groups. 3/11

In this paper, @monicanadegger and I unpack how stigmatized groups reconstruct stigma despite their communicative separation.

Publication alert 🥳 🎉 🥂

What a special moment to see our paper on stigma reconstruction in
Organization: my first publication, co-authored by my academic sibling
@monicanadegger ❤️, on a topic affecting us as a society, in a journal that I love to read myself!

Sad to see how well my research interests speak to each other: content moderation practices and alternative approaches to IP in the Covid-vaccine context! #CTAP #OpenSourceVaccines #Censorship
