October 18, DEWG: Election Edition!

A great deal of the public conversation about the 2024 U.S. presidential election has revolved around memes and other forms of “extremely online” political speech (Childless cat ladies! Coconut trees! Couches!). How can digital ethnography help us better understand the origins, spread, and implications of this type of content? Join DEWG for a lively discussion about using digital ethnographic methods to analyze election-related speech and visual culture.
