Dear colleagues, I’m happy to announce that my new book with Oxford University Press is recently released: Global Social Media Design Bridging Differences Across Cultures https://global.oup.com/academic/product/global-social-media-design-978019084... Social media users fracture into tribes, but social media ecosystems are globally interconnected technically, socially, culturally, and economically. At the crossroads, Sun presents theory, method, and case studies to uncover the global interconnectedness of social media design and to bridge differences. She articulates a critical design framework with design tools to redress asymmetrical relations in everyday practice, and provides three cross-cultural social media design and use cases: Facebook Japan, Weibo, and global competition of WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, and KakaoTalk. She calls to reshape the crossroads into a design square where differences are nourished as resources, where diverse discourses interact for innovation, and where alternative epistemes thrive. - Presents a practice-theoretic design framework to approach cultural differences from the Global South vantage - Uncovers the global interconnectedness of social media design and reorients universal design standards - Provides three provocative accounts of non-Western social media design and use on a global cultural circuit - Offer innovative design tools of sensitizing concepts and sensitizing relations to redress asymmetrical relations in everyday practice I hope it's of interest to some of you. Happy to provide a sample chapter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I have benefited so much from this listserv!
