Welcome to the Public Seminar. During the seminar, Philip Creswell, will present his research with the title "Why Does Anonymous Persist? (And Why Does That Matter?)".
BIO: “Philip K. Creswell is a newly minted Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg’s Department for Sociology and Work Science. His dissertation was an interrogation of theoretical approaches to understanding digital collective action grounded in a three-year ethnography of the hacktivist scene that calls itself Anonymous. He’s interested in the study of social movements and microstructural theories of social movement activity (digitally mediated and otherwise), but if left alone with any sociological topic long enough, he will write a paper about it.“
