From the archives (originally published March 2020): Saif Shahin, SOC professor and Internet Governance Lab faculty fellow, researches the links that bind and build online communities, including those founded on hateful beliefs. In a recent paper, “White Twitter: Tracing the Evolution of the Alt-Right in Retweets,” Shahin dug into nine years’ worth of retweets to understand the transformation of White Nationalism on social media ahead of the 2016 election. Shahin sat down with American as the inaugural guest on the 30 Minutes On podcast to recap his research and expand on the past, present, and future of social media dynamics.
