Pride, not prejudice
Rainbow-washing in advertising has become a critical issue, highlighting the gap between superficial LGBTQIA+ advocacy and brands’ lack of genuine commitment to the community. Using queer narrative theory, this study utilized a big data approach to investigate 128,520 consumer Reddit posts about rainbow-washing from non-Western (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa) and Western (USA, UK, Australia, Canada) cultures. The findings reveal both m…
“More like a drug cartel than a baby plan”
This research presents a multimodal analysis of 189 infertility GIFs collected from the subreddit r/trollingforababy over a 12-month period.

Three major themes emerged: temporal disjuncture and the symbolic weight of waiting, dialogic resistance and carnivalesque inver…

Theories considering the role of public spaces in advancing democratic efforts differ on strategy and method for inclusion of marginalized voices. Through structured open-ended questionnaires with Algerian feminist demonstrato…
My Place Isn't in the Kitchen
This study examines the dynamics of a social media campaign launched by Algerian feminists in 2018 in response to a video shared on Facebook that narrated a woman's upsetting encounter with harassment. This movement occurred in a region often known for its autocratic systems of governance and the prevalence of its Islamic movements rather than for its prominence of feminist advocacy. Yet the Global South and particularly North Africa are actually…
