Ari Stillman
Ari is based in the School of Social and Political Science.
At the intersection of digital sociology, social movements, and labour, Ari's research primarily explores how online discourse critical of capitalism (Reddit's r/Antiwork community) can have offline impact on professional behaviours and class identity. To pursue this inquiry, Ari uses digital ethnography, data scraping, and online interviews (text, audio, and video) to understand the topical scope and norms around discussion, identify potential interview participants, and conduct in-depth interviews, respectively.
