<span style="margin:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:normal; font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">This minitrack focuses on two themes: a) research that critically interrogates how and when digital and social media reify existing power structures or realign
power for underrepresented or marginalized groups, and b) research that addresses ethical issues associated with doing research on digital and social media. The minitrack seeks both conceptual and empirical approaches to these two themes. Conceptual papers
should address foundational scholarship and theories —e.g., important interventions for thinking about information exchange in communities and societies, key ideas, paradigms, and methods. Empirical papers should draw on original studies of digital and social
media that illustrate the critical or ethical dimensions of digital infrastructures, social media platforms, or data use.</span></p>
