  • Pandemic-Safe Research with Online Surveys, Robert Kubinec
    MENA Newsletter: Pandemic-Safe Research with Online Surveys Robert Kubinec Division of Social Sciences New York University Abu Dhabi April 8th, 2021 In this article I argue that a possible silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has required wrenching changes of the MENA research community (Allam, Buttorff, and Shalaby 2020), is that it has increased awareness of the utility of online survey research. Scholarly research in the MENA region, and developing countries more generally, would benefit over the long term from an increased openness to online-only research designs that reach MENA residents where they increasingly interact with one another: on social media. Separate from the pandemic, online-only research has the added advantage of reducing potential harm to respondents and research assistants, whose online activity within social media sites can only be imperfectly observed by domestic authorities.1 Online Surveys via Social Media Ads I draw, in this article, from my own and my colleagues’ recent experience implementing surveys using Facebook ad targeting. Facebook is probably the most useful social media platform in the MENA region as its usage vastly exceeds the scope of other popular social media platforms.2 The lack of censorship of Facebook by MENA countries, even in highly authoritarian regimes, makes it an attractive means to reach residents directly. Facebook usage in the region, reaching 74 percent of all internet users according to the Arab Barometer’s most recent data, has yet to peak (Wee and Li 2019, 7). In addition,

  • The Chinese Organic Market: Challenges and Opportunities for European Companies
    UNIVERSITE CATHOLIQUE DE LOUVAIN LOUVAIN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT The Chinese Organic Market: Challenges and Opportunities for European Companies Academic Director: Research Master’s Thesis Jean-Christophe Defraigne Submitted by Roxane de Callataÿ With a view of getting a Master’s degree in Business Engineering and International Management ACADEMIC YEAR 2015-2016 II Abstract This thesis aims at guiding European companies in their conquest of the Chinese organic market. It covers an in-depth analysis of the marketplace and an extensive literature review of its consumers with a view to providing insights into the attitudes of Chinese organic consumers, their preferences and purchase behaviours. To complement theory, the case of Belvas SA, a Belgian manufacturer of organic fair-trade chocolate based in Ghislenghien (Hainaut), is meant to support and illustrate the problematic. Furthermore, a field research, structured around four specific research questions related to the mind-set of Chinese consumers, has been conducted in Beijing throughout June 2016 to present a comprehensive picture of the current habits and beliefs in China. To sum up, this thesis builds further on the current international business knowledge of the Chinese organic market, and is interesting for European companies willing to export organic food to China since concrete recommendations are given on how to address this particular market. Key words: Organic Food – Chinese Consumers – Recommendations for Export – Business in China III My thesis provided me with a wonderful opportunity

  • Do Algorithms Have Cosmopolitics? a Discussion Based on Facebook's Nudity Policy
    Selected Papers of #AoIR2017: The 18th Annual Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers Tartu, Estonia / 18-21 October 2017 DO ALGORITHMS HAVE COSMOPOLITICS? A DISCUSSION BASED ON FACEBOOK'S NUDITY POLICY Amanda Jurno Communication Studies Graduate Program, Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil Carlos d’Andréa Communication Studies Graduate Program, Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. Visiting scholar at the University of Amsterdam (2017-2018) Sociotechnical mediators that have an increasingly influence in digital platforms, the algorithms construct and implement regimes of power and knowledge (Kitchin, 2014). Although there is a strong institutional effort held by Facebook and other platforms to present them as “reliable sociotechnical actors” (Gillespie, 2014), frequent controversies around the agencies of the algorithms have been highlighting the importance of discussing their ethical and political implications. In this context, it seems pertinent to remeMber an issue - and a provocation - pointed by Langdon Winner (1986). By asking “Do the artifacts have politics?”, this author calls for attention to the specific forms of power and authority incorporated by technological innovations. Dialoguing with this perspective, Introna (2016, p.18) points that the algorithms "more or less enact important value choices, made implicitly or explicitly, by those who build them and implement them, which may have significant implications for those that draw upon them in their daily practices".
