Josh Braun

New for all the fresh faces. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about and . My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press, so feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project.

Oh, and if you're deciding whether to follow me, here's an example of the sort of stuff I'm likely to post. (Short version: Lots of notes on reading for my book project.) sciences.social/@josh/10935302

@josh @bethanyklein great list. Can’t edit but feel free to add me to it :)

@Mavcall @bethanyklein So glad it's useful! And great to connect with you here.

@josh Josh, could you link to MIT series site, sounds great

@josh Thanks Josh, they all look great! Did not realize Emily's book was out, I'll need to get that. A long time ago she was studying greeting card exchange and I was studying mix tape exchange and we had a lot to talk about.

@slobster48602 That's awesome! Glad you know each other and that I've made a book sale for her. I hope you find a lot to talk about, again.
