Kinesiology junior Molly Sheridan said she doesn’t understand why Zoom would need to keep recordings on its cloud “forever.” “I feel like I can understand if they save it for a little bit of time, but forever is kind of suspicious to me,” Sheridan said. “It’s like an invasion of privacy because I know in one of my sociology classes, we record the Zoom every week and sometimes people say things that are really personal about ILLUSTRATION BY MARCI SUELA their life.” Following the recent switch to online not on the Zoom cloud, can be deleted. a permanent record [and] the difference classes, the CSU Office of General Counsel SJSU political science professor of the environment that the students are began advising all 23 CSU campuses about Matthew Record said he thinks there’s a inhabiting only exacerbates [feelings of preserving records.

We build on scholarship that explores how content creators make sense of their relationships to audiences, their contested digital labor, and the centrality of identity to their (im)material work (eg: Baym, 2018; Abidin, 2018; Senft, 2008). Indeed, as critical internet researchers interested in “the lively, animated machines of today’s internet”, we argue that an examination of influencers, microcelebrity, and virality that explicitly attends to race and racism is sorely needed. This panel brings together a diverse group of interdisciplinary (anthropology, sociology, media and communication, game studies, queer studies, and feminist studies) scholars working in the United States and Australia, who engage in empirical and theoretical research on microcelebrity and influencer cultures.

    Oklahoma State University 2020 Social Media Influencer Program Implementation INTRODUCTION Many universities and college campuses around the U.S. have implemented programs that allow students to represent them on social media platforms such as ambassador and brand representative programs. Some campuses are partnering with or showcasing social media influencers who are, or will be attending their schools. This has the potential to gain schools immediate publicity. While effective in gaining social media attention, it also has some drawbacks. These influencers could post negative or derogatory content concerning the school. It would be difficult for the university to monitor the publicity they were receiving and the audiences these influencers were reaching. On the other hand, some campuses have social media ambassadors and brand programs for students to take part in. While these programs work to provide positive publicity for campuses, most don't provide effective content or have the follower base it requires to gain much attention. After researching different plans for social media visibility, I decided to focus on creating a concrete social media influencer program. Implementing this program would utilize a combination of the above tactics from both the brand programs and individual influencers, specifically recruiting students with a certain number of followers and knowledge per platform to form a large group that will be held to certain standards and guidelines, rewarded with incentives, which will allow schools a greater say in content produced by the student influencers. TABLE OF CONTENTS 03 Program Implementation 04 Timeline 05 Research 07 Platforms 08 Group Capacity 09 Type of Influencer 10 Application Process 11 Application 12 Incentives 13 Guidelines 14 Social Media Calendar 15 Accountability 16 Outcomes Program Implementation This project consisted of researching and creating a plan to implement a social media influencer program at Oklahoma State University.

MAKING FRIENDS There is oft en some anxiety about going back to school aft er the summer break, but IN NEW SCHOOLS fear about coronavirus is making it even harder this year for some children and families. P13 However, all of the UK’s chief medical offi cers put out a joint statement this week to reassure parents that it was safe to send their children back to school. They said “very few, if any” children and teenagers would come to long-term harm from the virus just by att ending school, while there was a “certainty” of harm from not returning. Dr Jenny Harries, the deputy chief medical offi cer for England, said she understood why parents and carers might be worried. But she said she wanted to reassure everyone that the risk to pupils is “very, very small”. And, she said what she has said before – if children do catch COVID-19, it tends to be very mild. Dr Harries added that the “long-term harms of children not att ending school” posed more of a danger than the virus, in a well-managed school environment.

  • The Social Reset in 2020, Everything We’Ve Known – from Daily Routines to Long-Term Ambitions – Has Been Disrupted Beyond Recognition
    The Social Reset In 2020, everything we’ve known – from daily routines to long-term ambitions – has been disrupted beyond recognition. In the face of an increasingly visible and vicious climate crisis, a global pandemic, and a civil rights movement, the global population has been forced to face the cracks in our society’s established order of business, and reassess what’s important as we grapple with an uncertain future. Social has played a central role in the theatrics. With lockdown shaping much of our experience in early 2020 – at its peak, the first wave of Covid-19 saw over 3.9 billion people confined to their homes – the role of digital tools and communications have been pulled into even greater prominence. As a result, our relationship with these channels – how we use them, and how we feel about them – has undergone an irreversible transformation. In some instances, inertia has been overcome; live content, shopping via AR and paying to customise an avatar are all behaviours that have entered the mainstream. But deeper systemic issues in these technologies have also come to light – we’ve been reminded how quickly misinformation around vital issues can spread, for example, and the disproportionate power of bad actors in digital spaces. As we move into 2021, we’ll see people re-evaluate the role platforms should play in their lives, rethink which sources they engage with, and relearn how to use social in line with tectonic shifts in the drivers that underpin our screentime. This is the social reset. The events shaping social Certain events from the past year have played out in interesting ways online.
