[Linganth] gender, twitter, and hashtags

[Dick, Hilary]

Hi, everyone--

Liz, I highly recommend a fabulous new article by Yarimar Bonilla and
Jonathan Rosa on the use of hashtags during the protests of police
brutality in Ferguson, called--"#Ferguson: Digital protest, hashtag
ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the United States."

It's is in the new volume of American Ethnologist and is open source for
the next several months; here's a link--
http://americanethnologist.org/2014/anthropology-ferguson-missouri/

The article focuses on race, not gender, but I certainly think the
analytical framework the author's develop would be of use for your student.

Best,
Hilary
