social media in northern chile
My first book, Social Media in Northern Chile: Posting the Extraordinarily Ordinary was published in 2016 by UCL Press. This project concentrates on digital media as a discursive sight for instantiating individual and collective notions of identity, as well as potentials for mitigating or reinforcing social inequalities. In this project I worked with both University College London's Centre for Digital Anthropology and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile's Center for Intercultural and Indigenous Research, with funding from the European Research Council and Chile’s National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research. On this page, you'll find video, photography, links to my book and more articles related to this project. I also collaborated with the Global Social Media Impact Study to publish How the World Changed Social Media (2016, UCL Press).
