Hi all!
I am a PhD student in Architecture and Urban Studies, doing research
on how information is reprogramming the geography of the public sphere
within the contemporary metropolis.
I'd love to work with datasets of geolocated tweets from a given area,
especially in Indonesia, but could also be in India, Brazil,
Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines,
Turkey, South Korea, Vietnam...
I am interested in content generated during politically charged
events, such as Occupy, the Arab Spring, the NATO meeting in Chicago,
G8 summits, but also in the everyday life. Analyzing aggregated tweets
shared during wartime would be of extreme interest, but that would
also be more sensitive material, depicting how situated collective
action, resistance, command and control are actuated through social
media apparati.
I am very open to collaborations and exchanges of ideas and tools, so
please don't hesitate to contact me for any reason!
Thank you very much.
Ciao,
Paolo
