At the 8th UNILOG, which will take place next December in Cusco, Peru, there will be a workshop on Rationality and Social Media
Someone posts something on social media with the aim of showing discontent with something or someone else; the post goes viral. Lately, that has often happened but not much has been published on how this issue may affect academic practices like that of publishing a paper in a scientific journal that may lead to negative viral reactions. This workshop’s aim is to tackle the rationality (if any) behind this phenomenon.
Send a one page abstract by October 15, more details here:
