Re-upping with the right hashtag #AoIR2023 😝
Listen, at some point I’m going to accidentally walk down that up escalator. If you see me do it, no you don’t.
Hey there #aoir23! If you’re a first time attendee or grad student and need a buddy, don’t hesitate to reach out! Conferences can be overwhelming, and please come say hi and introduce yourself! I will always buy you a coffee!

Kicking off the TikTok and politics panel with tradwives and influencers #AoIR2023 #####
Do we post relevant jobs here? Just-posted ad from my incredible department - we’re hiring an associate/full professor in areas including emerging media technologies. Might be relevant to some #AoIR2023 folks. Not on the committee but happy to answer any questions. Can honestly say I work with some of the best people in the business.

If you’re still around #AoIR2023 and aren’t too conferenced out yet, come check out an amazing panel of participants talking about TikTok at 10:30 in Wyeth A! I’ll be presenting work on BookTok, what “sides” of TikTok mean, and how they’re constructed through interface and culture.
It’s not #AoIR2023 without a meme panel.
