Window-shopping the far-right: A comparative study of alt-tech social media homepages
A new wave of websites, referred to as alternative technology (alt-tech) social media, are proliferating across the internet, characterised by far-right-centric content and the imitation of mainstream platform affordances. This study employs Netnography to examine the recruitment practices of four prominent alt-tech platforms: Gab, Parler, Truth Social, and Gettr, providing an in-depth comparative analysis of their homepages. To better understand…
Administrative Designs and Access to Political Arenas in Public Education
What administrative and political features render spaces of political action publicly accessible? Drawing on Schattschneider's core elements of visibility and scope, we offer a framework to identify administrative features that are crucial to democratic accessibility and apply this framework to American public school board meetings. We analyze online access to school board meeting information through original data retrieved from more than 11,000 …
The Gift of Gab: A Netnographic Examination of the Community Building Mechanisms in Far-Right Online Space
Major social media platforms have recently taken a more proactive stand against harmful far-right content and pandemic-related disinformation on their sites.However, these actions have catalysed the growth of fringe online social networks for participants seeking right-wing content, safe havens, and unhindered communication channels.To better understand these isolated systems of online activity and their success, the study on Gab Social examines …
More Than Meets the Reply: Examining Emotional Belonging in Far-Right Social Media Space
This article challenges prevailing assumptions that fringe social media platforms predominantly serve as unmoderated hate-filled spaces for far-right communication by examining the userbase’s emotional connection to these environments. Focusing on Gab Social, a popular alternative technology website with affordances akin to Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit, and its subgroup, “Introduce Yourself,” the research investigates how participants discuss th…
The New Education Politics in the United States
During the COVID-19 pandemic, school district politics rose to prominence on the nation's political agenda, as school boards grappled with controversial decisions about reopening schools and implementing mask mandates. A growing number of political scientists are using newly available data and innovative research strategies to examine policy responsiveness, elections, segregation and inequality, state takeovers, interest groups, democratic delibe…
Should School Boards Be in Charge? The Effects of Exposure to Participatory and Deliberative School Board Meetings
Should school boards be in charge of schools? School boards serve as sites for local democracy, but their power has been under siege for over half a century. This study provides results from an original survey in order to assess who Americans want in charge of their schools. Given that the strength of school boards is supposed to be their ability to facilitate local democracy, this study also includes a survey experiment in which participants are…
Fired Up, Ready to Go: The Impact of Age, Campaign Enthusiasm, and Civic Duty on African American Voting
Jonathan Louli, Le travail social face à l'incertain
C’est à une analyse socio-anthropologique des pratiques et des discours des éducateurs et éducatrices de la prévention spécialisée que nous invite Jonathan Louli dans son premier ouvrage. Il est à noter qu’au-delà de la recherche qu’il a menée, l’auteur possède lui-même une expérience en tant qu’éducateur en prévention spécialisée et animateur dans divers secteurs. Cela a sans doute constitué un atout facilitant l’entrée sur le terrain. Cependant…
Urban representation through deliberation: A theory and test of deliberative democracy at the local level
Despite the enormous size of the urban population, political scientists have very little knowledge of the capacity for substantive representation in large cities. This article develops and tests models of urban representation based on the deliberative democracy theoretical framework. Focusing on school districts in Los Angeles County, this article uses a unique survey of school district superintendents from within the largest county in the United…
Buying schools with social capital: How Local Response to State Reform Fosters Education Revenue Inequality
In this article, the author tests the hypothesis that social capital leads to greater inequality in public school revenue. Research has linked social capital – the manifestation of social networks of trust and shared norms – to efforts that can alleviate inequality. By conducting a comparative analysis of the counties and school districts in California, this article finds competing evidence. Instead, the author finds that local areas with more me…
