[Air-L] Research of Facebook public groups

[Andreas Birkbak]

Dear Ruth,

Here's a study of two Facebook Groups founded in reaction to a snowstorm
emergency in Denmark that I've done:
http://vbn.aau.dk/da/publications/crystallizations-in-the-blizzard(00900bdf-5dd9-4edf-8a99-582c96b22081).html

It combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, including analysis of
discourse.

Best,
Andreas

> Goodman & Rowe (2014) "Maybe it is prejudice... but it is NOT racism":
> Negotiating racism in discussion forums about Gypsies. D&S 25(1).
>
> Shaikjee & Milani (2013) "It's time for Afrikaans to go"... or not?
> Language ideologies and (ir)rationality in the blogosphere. Language
> Matters 44(2).

> I was sure someone archived the Thatcher tweets as well...
