Flyover Folk Episode 3: How Digital Communities Can Lead to Social Change
Show Notes
The recent women’s marches across the country were the largest single day of protest in US history. And many credit the movement success with their ability to leverage real world activism generated from online communities. On today’s episode of Flyover Folk, we discuss how digital organizing can lead to offline actions. Our guest is sociologist Susan Kroger, a long time leader in the women’s movement in South Dakota and PhD student at South Dakota State University whose research explores how digital relationships can lead to social change.
