Reframing data activism
Social movements are adapting to datafication in diverse and complex ways. This paper refines existing conceptualisations of datafied social movements by analysing how two organisations within Ireland's housing and just-city movements navigate datafication. Through a longitudinal comparative study of the Dublin Democratic Planning Alliance, an expert-driven advocacy network, and the Community Action Tenants Union, a grassroots, mass-membership un…
Shifting news values to value voice
Conventional news values are not well attuned to provide voice that matters for those who are socially marginalised, including residents of social housing in Australia. As a result, news media can legitimise and entrench inequalities and injustices. In this article we examine social housing resident voice in media reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying constraints on resident voice and indicating rarer instances where alternative mod…

First Nations co…

Qualitative interview data with twenty students (identified and selected by quan…

This paper presents a study of Irish households, the internet and everyday life. Social studies of technology draw heavily from anthropology, not only in ethnographic methodologies but also in the ways in which such data can be understood and interpreted within the contexts of everyday life. To achieve this, the concept of the domestication of (media) technologies has been developed to describe and analyse the processes of technology's acceptance…
