Hey Yosem! 

This looks pretty interesting and relevant for some folks within the Ushahidi 
and iHub community. Will this be a webinar or is this a session that will be 
recorded and uploaded online?

[liberationtech] Liberation Technology Seminar Series- Jan 29- Hassanpour

and Conflict *

*Abstract*

Is communication technology conducive to collective violence? Recent
studies have provided conflicting answers to the same question. While some
see the introduction of cellular communication as a contributing factor to
civil conflict in Africa (Pierskalla and Hollenbach APSR 2013), others
ascribe an opposite effect to mobile communications in Iraq (Shapiro and
Weidmann IO forthcoming). During the talk, I will further explore the logic
behind "Why the revolution will not be tweeted", and argue that the answer
lies in contagion processes of collective action at the periphery, not the
hierarchical schemes of central coordination as was argued before. To
provide evidence, I will draw on historical accounts of social revolutions,
a GIS study of the Syrian Civil War, a convenience survey sample from the
2011 Egyptian Revolution, as well as network experiments of collective
risk-taking in a controlled setting.
Speaker Bio

Navid Hassanpour
 (Ph.D.s
in Political Science from Yale'14, and Electrical Engineering from
Stanford'06) studies political contestation, in its contentious and
electoral forms. Following an inquiry into collective and relational
dimensions of contentious politics, currently he is working on a project
that examines the history, emergence, and the dynamics of representative
democracy outside the Western World. This year he is a Niehaus postdoctoral
fellow at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of public and International
Affairs. His work has appeared in Political Communication as well as IEEE
Transactions on Information Theory. His book project, Leading from the
Periphery, is under consideration at Cambridge University Press' Structural
Analysis in the Social Sciences Series.
