Woods gives invited international talk on digital 1xbet online sports betting in Hannover, Germany
Sept. 20, 2022
Heather Suzanne Woods, assistant professor of communication studies and associate director for graduate programs and research in the A.Q. Miller School of 1xbet online sports betting and Communication, gave an invited talk in Hannover, Germany this summer.
Woods, a scholar, teacher and researcher of rhetoric and technology, shared new research on social 1xbet online sports betting , memes and algorithms this summer at a Volkswagen Symposium.
The symposium, titled “Corporations, Communities, Crowds: The Aesthetics of Collective Agency in Twenty-First Century Culture” brought together researchers, practitioners, advocates, artists, and other subject-matter experts to discuss what collective agency might look like given a changing social, political, and technological world. The event was sponsored by the prestigious Volkswagen Foundation, which funds international and interdisciplinary symposia and workshops addressing new scientific ideas and 1xbet online sports betting approaches. The symposium was held at the historic Herrenhausen Palace in Hannover in July of this year.
Woods’ talk, “Algorithmically Together: Collectivity and the Memetic Politics of TikTok” addressed the ways people use social 1xbet online sports betting to find each other, build community, and participate in collective action online and offline. The paper argued that while individuals can engage with social 1xbet online sports betting platforms like TikTok as a tool for building community, technological features like algorithms also play a part in how users experience that community. This talk builds on Woods’ broader research portfolio, which examines how emerging technologies influence (and are influenced by) culture.
“It was an honor to represent the A.Q. Miller School and K-State abroad,” Woods said. “In addition to presenting new 1xbet online sports betting , I was fortunate to meet exceptional international researchers and advocates thinking and working on the cutting edge of knowledge.”
By invitation, Woods has previously presented related 1xbet online sports betting at The Global Forum on AI for Humanity (GFAIH) in Paris, France, which served as a formal launch pad for a Global Partnership on AI as part of G7 strategic initiatives. Woods is currently finishing her second book, on smart homes. Her 1xbet online sports betting is featured in The 1xbet online sports betting York Times, The Atlantic, Washington Post, among others.
