Research on middle class and use of social media for political participation
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

I just shot some video of Steven Clift giving a related talk. He would be a good person to reach out to. http://isoc-ny.org/p2/6218 On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 11:21 AM, Joan Okitoi <jokitoi@gmail.com> wrote:
