My Yahoo! Have a Seat! Talk on Digital Activism in India and China

On April 2, I gave a talk on digital activism in India and China at Yahoo!’s Sunnyvale office, as part of Yahoo!’s Have a Seat! talk series.

After the talk, Yahoo!’s Ebele Okobi-Harris did an interview with me on my research as the Yahoo! Fellow at Georgetown University –

In the interview, I mostly talk about the similarities and differences between digital activism in India and China.

Then, towards the end of the interview, I talk about how easy it is to write beautiful case studies on why a digital activism campaign was successful, but how difficult it is to replicate that success. At best, we can define the boundary conditions necessary for success with digital activism campaigns, but we still can’t say for sure that these conditions are sufficient. There’s a real possibility that we might never be able to come up with a definitive three-step guide on how to run a successful digital activism campaign, and that’s a humbling thought.
