[Air-L] Research on middle class and use of social media for political participation

[Joan Okitoi]

Dear fellow AoiR's,

I am doing a qualitative PhD research at the University of Bonn on how the
middle class are using social media to engage in political discussions
online vis-a-vis their actions offline, to communicate with politicians, to
mobilize and protest when certain political decisions are made by leaders
etc.

Does anyone know of research that sheds more light on how the middle class
utilize social media to shape politics?

Thank you all very much in advance.

Best regards,

Joan
