CIM's Matt Spencer has published two new open access papers exploring interdisciplinarity in cyber security.

The first, in the conference proceedings for the New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW), explores opportunities to bring a sociological framing to bear on security economics; the second, in Information, Communication and Society introduces a Special Issue focused on 'the fix' as a trope for interdisciplinary cyber security.

Carlos C谩mara-Menoyo, Fangzhou Zhang (Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies) and Nathaniel Tkacz (Goldsmiths, University of London), have coauthored a new article "Eventful migration: Rethinking social media migration with help from Elon Musk鈥檚 sink".

Based on an extensive literature review on social media migration, and empirical data drawing on a survey of Mastodon users after the Twitter's acquisition by Elon Musk in 2022, and social media analysis, the authors propose a new theory of eventful migration. This eventful migration theory widens the conceptual scope for how to approach SocialMedia Migration in ways that more directly tie such movements to specific questions of power, agency and events that ripple through digital cultures. They do so by shifting from pull-push factors to eventfulness, which they divide into five components: (1) X factor; (2) critical voice; (3) collective platform consciousness; (4) migration; and (5) terrain transformation.
