SMaPP-Global "Social Media and Politics" Conference

The purpose of SMaPP Global's conferences are to better understand how social media impacts political participation, how elites utilize social media to pursue political goals, and to develop open-source tools that facilitate the use of social media data for the study of politics. SMaPP-Global is made up of 25 scholars from across NYU, the United States, and Europe who meet bi-annually to share ongoing research, collaborate on new research ideas, and develop new research strategies. The conference will feature individual paper presentations, discussion, and roundtables.
