In this episode, Peter T. Coleman interviews Dr. Desmond Patton, an innovative social work researcher who focuses on youth violence research. He shares stories about his research on Internet Banging, as well as the potential utility of social media to identify certain hot zones or spots of violence as well as the implications and challenges of working with social media. He brings qualitative methods and data science to understand how and why youth and gang violence, trauma, grief and identity are expressed on social media and the real world impact they have on well-being for low-income youth of color. Dr. Patton tells about his partnership with the Data Science Institute at Columbia on his current research projects that examine how gang involved youth conceptualize threats on social media, the extent to which social media shapes and facilitates youth and gang violence, and how social media can be used to intervene in youth and gang violence. He explains how data is gathered and interpreted and how he also works with people on the ground, including outreach workers, community based organizations and others, in certain communities of high violence where the research is focused. One of the current pieces of his research, says Dr. Patton, is to invite us to "consider social media as an ecological system that we need to understand and see the implications for in social work practice." Dr. Patton discusses the current aims and challenges in his current research. He humbly shares about his previous work on Internet Banging. His previous research has been discussed on several media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, NPR, Boston Magazine, ABC News, and was most recently cited in an Amici Curae Brief submitted to the United States Supreme Court in the Elonis vs United States case which examined the issues of interpreting threats on social media. Before coming to Columbia in July of 2015, Dr. Patton was an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and School of Information. He received a BA in Anthropology and Political Science, with honors, from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro, MSW from the University of Michigan School of Social Work and PhD in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago.

This week's episode reviews the recent decisions of Elonis v. U.S. and Abercrombie & Fitch v. EEOC. Within this episode, Brett and Nazim talk about how the decisions were more limited than expected, but how that may be in the best interests of the Court and the government at large. So rest easy, millenial-based businesses, your time has not yet come to be face the wrath of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
On this episode, we discuss the Court's decision in Elonis v. United States, which concerns whether conviction of threatening another person under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c) requires proof of the defendant's subjective intent to threaten or whether it is enough to show that a “reasonable person” would regard the statement as threatening.
Brett and Nazim discuss the case of Elonis v. U.S., which covers whether or not the Supreme Court will afford special protection to threatening statements made on Facebook and/or prosecute people who share pictures of food. That last part is a joke, but seriously stop doing that.
Be a fly on the wall in Toonhound Studios this week as we record the room! We talk about Elonis vs US, a supreme court case about online harassment. That leads right into a convo about gender and race equality in comics and gaming which, of course, leads to the most controversial topic of all... Star Wars.
You've seen nasty posts on Facebook and other social media. Perhaps you've posted a few - ahem - regrettable things yourself. Can one of those posts put you in the slammer? The answer is yes. If you post something called a "true threat," you may find yourself in handcuffs. But how do we define a "true threat?" That's what Anthony Elonis is arguing about, right now, in the United States Supreme Court. Join us! And, in the meantime, be nice.
The Social Network Show welcomes Professor Mary Anne Franks back for the December 16, 2014 episode. Mary Anne Franks, an Associate Professor at the University of Miami School of Law and Vice President of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) talks about the Anthony Elonis case that is coming up before the supreme court. Mr. Elonis of Pennsylvania was convicted of making threatening statements on Facebook about his estranged wife, law enforcement officials and a Kindergarten. He claims that these were not real threats, but instead therapy to help him deal with his broken marriage. The U.S. Supreme Court is now determining what is protected by free speech versus what constitutes a true threat that is not protected by free speech. Professor Franks walks us through the details of this interesting case. Mary Anne Franks is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami School of Law. She teaches, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Family Law. Professor Franks is also the Vice President of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative which is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness about cyber harassment and advocates for legal and social reform. This work has allowed her to work with legislators to draft laws against "revenge porn". Before working at the University of Miami Law School, Professor Franks was a Bigelow Fellow and lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School and a lecturer in Social Studies at Harvard University. She received her J.D. from Harvard Law School and received her D. Phil and M. Phil from Oxford University where she studied on a Rhodes Scholarship. (D. Phil and M. Phil, U. S. equivalent of doctor of philosophy and master of philosophy. Professor Franks earned her degrees in Modern Languages and Literature).
