Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

Hey #commsky, we’re hosting a workshop soon for early career and student researchers: 25 February 2026 | 10:00–11:30 CET | Zoom
Register now to join the discussion.

Hier eine aktuelle Studie dazu: „Die meisten Verlage arbeiten trotz ihrer grundsätzlichen Einwände in der Praxis weiterhin mit Plattformen zusammen, da sie andere Prioritäten haben, die ihnen wichtiger sind als eine Entflechtung.“

#Framing theory could never have wished for a better allay than ChatGPT. Every single student project now somehow, somewhere has framing in it.
#commsky is that a global phenomenon? Does #chatgpt just converge to framing with comm/media related problem prompts?
Exactly. This is not a communication problem.
Review Friday rant: Why is everyone selling the use of GPT-x as a methodological innovation? It’s not like you programmed chatGPT. Using LLMs to classify text data is as „innovative“ as hiring someone to do. No one would think that hiring coders is a methodological contribution lol
Students yes, probably. But just by comparing ICA with the biggest international associations for psychology and political science, we are massively outnumbered. Plus as we’re in an integrative social science, many of us publish in psych and political science journals as well.
Is your point that comm science journals should publish more articles? Because I cannot keep up with the amount of publications relevant to my interest now 😅
Also, aren’t both pol science and psychology many times larger as fields than comm science?
Today will historically be known as „the #Cloudflare em-dash valley“.
A brief moment of internet orthography normalisation.

Hey #commsky people: I am looking for papers employing thematic analysis to study alternative media for my syllabus this term. Let me know about your must-reads please! 🙌
Self promotion welcome!
Eine rechte US Regierung kündigt eine „Blitz Operation“ gegen die eigene Bevölkerung an - irre übrigens, das unkritisch als News abzudrucken btw. Und hierzulande überlegt der Feuilleton, ob nicht doch irgendwie der „linke Zeitgeist“ an allem Schuld sein könnte.

Dreamt that I taught an elementary school class tonight and now I don’t know what to do with that in my teaching philosophy 🤷🏻♂️
At some point, all classes gathered in a big auditorium for lunch and each class sang in a choir.
The calculator moral panic finally won. Can’t have calculators anymore.
Guess heavily AI „assisted“ reviewer comments are our brave new age of peer review now lol… we’ll only get overly generic recommendations in lists of three applicable to a wide range of input texts and odd typesetter-level punctuation from now on.
Only consolation: The former we also got without AI.
Defrosted my freezer today and oh my the effort was ridiculous, but oh my the sense of accomplishment is insane. Wish I’d get that kick out of finishing my dissertation lol
You know what’s really relaxing after #ica25? Being able to sit in a café/restaurant as long as you wish, not being rushed out the second you put your fork down 🙌
(I know that’s because US staff can’t make a living without max. fluctuation - makes it all the more annoying/wrong on multiple levels)
Jesus, Maria, Joseph! 😮
Brückentag 🤷🏻♂️
Survivorship Bias bleibt seinem OG Flugzeug Fallbeispiel treu 😅
Auch schön, wenn man sich auf manche Dinge in diesen Zeiten noch verlassen kann.
Update: It seems safe-ish now (aka air gas-free at the venue), still many major roads around the conference hotels are closed - get home safe ppl 🙌
I repeat: Do not come to the Amsterdam reception at 14Tabs Bar #ica25
#ica25 warning protests are escalating; police use tear gas. Stay away

Came for #ica2025 or #ica25 encountered
#denver #protests happening right now - protesting against #ice
“How do I stop my students from cheating with AI?” Universal basic income, for starters
