[Commlist] DIGZOOM spring 2021 online seminar series

The Centre for Digital Social Research (DIGSUM) at Umeå University, 
Sweden, invites you all to our spring 2021 online seminar series, 
DIGZOOM, starting on January 28, and featuring:

- Zizi Papacharissi
- José van Dijck
- Nick Couldry
- Sarah T. Roberts
- Charles Ess
- Deen Freelon
- Whitney Phillips
- Brooke Foucault Welles
- Hannah Metzler
- Mark Carrigan
- Chris Bail

These are trying times, and this is a way to offer a space for exchange 
and dialogue in this field, as we hope for better days. The aim is for 
the events to be informal and friendly. 🦄

This is a broad invitation, and anyone, anywhere, who is interested in 
these topics should feel welcome to attend as many sessions as you like. 
We in fact encourage you to. We are proud to be able to offer such an 
impressive lineup of speakers! 🎉 This a somewhat unique opportunity.

Browse our programme at https://digsum.org/digzoom

Then, request zoom links (buttons following each speaker bio) for the 
ones you want to attend (the sooner the better). We will approve your 
“requests”, but just want to avoid posting the links directly in this email.
If you prefer, send an email to (digsum /at/ digsum.net) listing which sessions 
you want links for.
