New technologies make activism easier for people who don't have to leave the comfort of their homes to "like" a politically-charged article or sign a petition. In this session, scholars present their emerging work on how different forms of media allows for particular activism, as well as the shortfalls of this sort of participation. Topics include: digital online action, kids' political engagement, the American Indian farm movement, and information effects on disaster resilience.
