Disrupting Fandom, Collective Action, and Social Justice
Between November 2022 and February 2023, JK Rowling’s persistent anti-trans political advocacy incited a boycott of the Hogwarts Legacy video game release, sparking debate and controversy among fans of the Wizarding World. In this study, we examine Redditors’ engagement with this controversy by analyzing their narrative sensemaking processes and communicative enactment of resilience in response to it through a combination of computational and qua…
“Maybe He was a Mercenary All Along”
A longitudinal analysis of involuntary job loss and communication resilience processes during the Covid-19 pandemic
This longitudinal study explored associations between communication resilience processes, job-search self-efficacy, and well-being for a sample of US adults who involuntarily lost their jobs during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the communication theory of resilience (CTR), we tested four possible models regarding how the enactment of resilience processes would be associated with job-search self-efficacy and well-being over ti…
Caring for Patients without Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Guided by communication theory of resilience (CTR), we analyze 453 narrative accounts by Reddit user healthcare workers (HCWs) of their experiences with COVID-19-related personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages between March and May 2020. Via thematic analysis and sensitized by CTR concepts, we examine PPE shortages as a disruptive trigger event that catalyzes the enactment of resilience processes. Findings problematize PPE shortages as mate…
Reddit in communication research
This study offers a prescriptive review of the current status of Reddit in communication research. We analyze the characteristics of studies utilizing Reddit in the field of communication, examine the functions of Reddit within those studies, and identify future directions emerging from the analysis. Findings describe characteristics (e.g. methodologies, publication outlets, disciplinary affiliations, and use of theory) of communication studies u…
Emplotting anticipatory resilience
This work extended the communication theory of resilience by examining how individuals construct anticipatory resilience through narratives of disruptive life events. Guided by postmodern antenarrative theory, we analyzed the emplotment of 25 individuals’ narratives of disruptive events to understand how participants make sense of these events and prospectively craft resilience as storied logics of the future. The findings challenged extant resil…
