I am a doctoral researcher in digital sociology, focusing on social movements and activism on social media. My research examines how these movements leverage the specific affordances of digital platforms to engage with institutionalized political actors, such as political parties. I focus particularly on progressive movements, including anti-racist, feminist, and climate-related initiatives.
