I'm Tom Divon, a researcher, teacher, and proud father to my Corgi, Alex. My home is the Internet. I explore social media platforms and digital cultures while asking profound questions about content creators, affordances, influencers, authenticity and cultural-memetic practices across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. For that, I am utilizing my toolkit of qualitative research methods such as multimodal analysis, interviews, observations, ethnography, and more.
In my ongoing work, I study the never-ending cultural frictions between the online world and humanity as I inquire into the two sides: how people use the internet, including creators, lurkers, influencers, and any other agent with interest, as well as how the internet designs, shapes and affects users' behaviors.
I believe that comprehending any online experience requires an understanding of how people, cultures, infrastructures, algorithms, and labor intersect, influence, and shape each other.
