Abigail De Kosnik & Keith Feldman Interviewed by the New Books Network

#Identity: Hashtagging Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Nation, published by the University of Michigan Press, is featured on the New Books in Political Science podcast on the New Books Network! Co-editors Abigail De Kosnik and Keith Feldman talk with Lily Goren on social media engagement and activism.

Goren notes: "This text came out of The Color of New Media working group at the University of California at Berkeley and the contributors come from a variety of academic backgrounds and disciplines, making this a particularly interdisciplinary approach to considering and understanding a wide variety of social movements, social engagement, political discourse, and active use of hashtagging and Twitter.

From the description:

#identity will appeal to scholars in many different disciplines including sociology, political science, media studies, gender and women’s studies, Queer studies, postcolonial studies, African-American Studies, American Studies, global studies, and more.
