[Air-L] Teaching an undergraduate course on social media and power dynamics

[Elena Pavan]

Hi Shira,

i would recommend a few readings -

Castells, M. (2011) ‘A network theory of power’, International Journal 
of Communication, 5,
773–87, available at: http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/1136/553.

González-Bailón, S., Borge-Holthoefer, J., & Moreno, Y. (2013). 
Broadcasters and hidden influentials in online protest
diffusion. American Behavioral Scientist, 57, 943–965.

and, with a little bit of self promotion

Pavan, E. (2017). “The integrative power of online collective action 
networks beyond protest. Exploring social media use in the process of 
institutionalization”. Social Movement Studies vol 16(4): 433-446 [ISSN: 
1474-2837].

Padovani, C. and E. Pavan. (2016). “Global Governance and ICTs. 
Exploring online governance networks around Gender and Media”, Global 
Networks, 16(3): 350-371 [ISSN: 1470-2266].

hope this helps
