What Do We Know About Algorithmic Literacy? The Status Quo and a Research Agenda for a Growing Field
New Media & Society (2023), [no pag.]
"The increasing role of algorithms shaping our use of communication technology—particularly on social media—comes with a growth of empirical research attempting to assess how literate users are regarding these algorithms. This rapidly emerging field is marked by great diversity in terms of how i

Algorithmic transparency and accountability in the world of work: A mapping study into the activities of trade unions
Algorithm Watch;International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) (2023), 29 pp.
"This report, prepared by AlgorithmWatch for the ITUC, looks at examples from around the world of how unions are tackling the crucial issues of transparency and regulation in relation to algorithms. It reveals that while there is a substantial and growing body of trade union knowledge and policy, th

Pluralism of News and Information in Curation and Indexing Algorithms: Policy Framework
Forum on Information & Democracy (2023), 92 pp.
Toward a popular theory of algorithms
Popular Communication, volume 21, issue 1 (2023), pp. 57-70
"This paper establishes dialogs between theories on the popular and critical studies on algorithms and datafication. In doing so, it contributes to reversing the analytical tendency to assume that algorithms have universal effects and that conclusions about “algorithmic power” in the Global Nort

“Shadowbanning is not a thing”: Black box gaslighting and the power to independently know and credibly critique algorithms
Information, Communication & Society, volume 26, issue 6 (2023), pp. 1226-1243
"Efforts to govern algorithms have centerd the ‘black box problem,’or the opacity of algorithms resulting from corporate secrecy and technical complexity. In this article, I conceptualize a related and equally fundamental challenge for governance efforts: black box gaslighting. Black box gasligh

(Dis)Obedience in Digital Societies: Perspectives on the Power of Algorithms and Data
Bielefeld: transcript (2022), 377 pp.
"Algorithms are not to be regarded as a technical structure but as a social phenomenon - they embed themselves, currently still very subtle, into our political and social system. Algorithms shape human behavior on various levels: they influence not only the aesthetic reception of the world but also

Artificial Communication: How Algorithms Produce Social Intelligence
Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press (2022), xiv, 184 pp.
"Argues that what makes AI socially relevant and useful is not intelligence at all but something even more human: communication. If machines are going to improve their ability to address ever more important human issues, it will not be because they have learned to think like people, but because we h
