SUMMARY:Zeynep Tufekci: "The Boom-Bust Cycle of Social Media-Fueled Protests"
DESCRIPTION:Zeynep Tufekci\nSocial media-fueled protests in many countries have surprised observers with their seemingly spontaneous\, combustible power. Yet\, many have fizzled out without having a strong impact on policy at the electoral and legislative levels. In this talk\, Tufekci will discuss some features of such protests that may be leading to this boom and bust cycle drawing upon primary research in Gezi protests in Turkey as well as “Arab Spring”\, Occupy and M15 movements. \nZeynep Tufekci is an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. \nModerated by Professor of Comparative Media Studies and Head of MIT Foreign Languages and Literatures Ian Condry and Ethan Zuckerman\, Director of the MIT Center for Civic Media.
