Though most of my social media friends think of me as a "misinformation" researcher, my academic home has always been CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work). This week, CSCW held its first in-person conference since 2019 and I was able to reconnect with old friends and introduce several @uwcip students to the community. They presented lots of amazing work. Let me tell you all about it.

@schaferj The poster would go on the win honorable mention for best poster at the conference. Congratulations Joey!

@katestarbird that should have said “pluralism”, typing too fast 😅

Excited to be at #cscw2023 this week (presenting in the “Privacy” and “AI Ethics” sessions on Monday) - looking forward to seeing and meeting folks!

@katestarbird And tomorrow, I will be presenting our poster called “Post-Spotlight Posts: The Impact of Sudden Social Media Attention on Account Behavior.” https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3584931.3606984 3/ #CSCW2023

@katestarbird Yesterday’s workshop paper, titled “Towards Incorporating Researcher Safety Into Information Integrity Research Ethics,” talks about the need to learn from feminist media studies and other fields which have considered researcher safety as an essential part of ethical study design. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OAApPd9SkRy4iuFVH-kA45bmEuRum1No/view?usp=drivesdk 2/ #CSCW2023

Very excited to be taking part in my first ever in-person CSCW! #CSCW2023. I presented a workshop paper yesterday at the “Many Worlds of Ethics: Ethical Pluralis’ at CSCW” workshop, and will be presenting a poster tomorrow, both of which I wrote with @katestarbird . 1/

@katestarbird If you’re also at the conference and want to talk about mis/disinfo, online influencers, attention dynamics, and methods for doing this research ethically and effectively as platform landscapes continue to shift, please reach out!! #CSCW2023 4/4
