Social Media in the Middle East
Professor Damian Radcliffe has been producing annual studies on social media use in the Middle East since 2012, the year after the Arab Spring, an event that put the potential potency of social media in the region on the geo-political map. Since 2017, these reports have been co-authored with University of Oregon students Hadil Abuhmaid (2019-2022), Peyton Bruni (2018), and Amanda Lam (2017).
