Potential topics include: * The role of digitization in shaping the nature of organization and collaboration * Platform design implications for message / frame diffusion * Why and how collective action dilemmas arise or resolve * Innovation through collective action * Cross-level (e.g., individual to societal) impacts of social technologies * Brand hijacking movements targeting corporate competitors * Implications of cyberactivism and hacktivism * Fake news movements and propaganda diffusion * Effectiveness of hashtag activism or clicktivism * Corporate strategy / involvement in social movements to shape public policy * Botivists (web bots programmed for activism), online petitions, and other tools for digital protest * Viral marketing of ideas and social agendas * Social media capabilities and facilitation of echo chambers * Financing of social agendas through crowdfunding or bitcoin exchanges * Any application of social movement or collective action concepts (e.g., frames and tactics, organization, claim making, etc.) toward understanding of social technology phenomenon (e.g., crowdsourcing, large group collaboration, social media use, etc.) Minitrack Co-Chairs: Amber Young (Primary Contact) University of Massachusetts Amherst ayoung@isenberg.umass.edu<mailto:ayoung@isenberg.umass.edu> Jama Summers University of Tennessee, Knoxville jdsummers@utk.edu<mailto:jdsummers@utk.edu> Constantinos Coursaris Michigan State University coursari@msu.edu<mailto:coursari@msu.edu> My best, Constantinos Dr. Constantinos K.
