Greetings, #SocialScience folks
@sociology
@linguistics
@politicalscience
Shouting out to any and all whose work is explicitly #interdisciplinary or using #HybridMethodology of one sort or another.
I'm testing Guppe groups to foster discussions across instances -- and #disciplines and philosophies, if we're lucky :)
I'd like to draw your attention to two new groups:
1 - @interdisciplinarity
2 - @communications
Give a follow!
Cheers
Here's an #introduction for me
My work is based in #communications studies ( #rhetoric , org/tech, and cultural/media traditions) with a healthy dose of #PoliticalScience and #CorpusLinguistics , all wrapped up in a #Sociological perspective.
My training is in comms, polisci and #InternationalRelations , but I am firmly in the people-centred, critical and #Pragmatic mode
On the hunt for fellow strangers :)
I think these groups might have promise for broad discussion, servers be damned
Recently finished up my PhD at #DublinCityUniversity
That's capping about 20 years of practice in comms, mostly with #UnitedNations and #IGOs
I worked mostly in the #disarmament space. I stay involved in this way and that, but my attention turned to the only thing that'll save us: #Education
The *beastly* title of my PhD is
Endogenous Measures for Contextualising Large-Scale Social Phenomena:
A Corpus-Based Method for Mediated Public Discourse
Yowza
Anyway, that's me. Who are ye?
And apologies if I accidentally flooded your timeline.
I had the first post set to public, and the rest unlisted.
But it seems that if you follow those groups, then the posts show up. Wasn't my intention! Still learning how things work with the Guppe groups.
Anyways, pleased to meet y'all, and sorry for the clutter
So taking a break Friday's relaxations...
I have this feeling that disciplinary constraints and expectations chafe upon most folks
We just don't know how to talk about it.
That chance isn't given us, or taught
Fair enough. Those straps and binds are part and parcel of the neoliberal institution, be it academic or otherwise
It's the silos what diminish us
I'm curious if this space will replicate that of the other place -- carefulness of who we are and what we say
Or if we might speak
@JClarkPowers I love the feel of being on Mastodon, bc of the need to start small and reach out in a way that might not just involve a click. That said: I’m a #migration researcher, and have had so many admin duties at work, that most of my spare time this week has been spent working on a paper on #conviviality, leaving me little time to reach out.
@egubrium same. Twitter feels like this Hungry Hungry Hippos thing, of snatching up numbers and attention and accounts.
Here it feels much more intentional. But that can be awkward! Reaching out always feels like a bit of a risk or an embarrassment :) Well worth it though.
Good to hear from you, and hope the paper goes well!
@JClarkPowers thanks! It IS awkward, but also more intimate. For now, it feels possible to have new conversations with new people. And to talk about ideas in a meaningful way. Just wrote my intro, so I’m all set!
