Ep. 41: Idil Galip “Meme Studies Research Network”

Founder of the Meme Studies Research Network (MSRN) and doctoral researcher in sociology Idil Galip explores how she started an international and interdisciplinary research network for scholars who study memes to collaborate and organize. How did Turkey’s Gezi Park Protests inspire her memetic research? Further, she explores how memes are generational artifacts, the dangers of assuming people engage with memes in good faith, and what is required for mainstream media to begin to better understand memes.
