Online event
Dear community friends!
This is a kind reminder:
The TikTok Cultures Research Network (TCRN) is excited to announce our second online satellite roundtable event, "Latin American Cultures on TikTok" or "Culturas Latinoamericanas en TikTok," featuring bilingual availability in Spanish and English through live translation.
While extensive research has explored the experiences of creators and related industries on this popular platform from the perspective of Western countries and dominant regions, the field of TikTok research in other parts of the world is emerging, promising novel perspectives for comprehending the platform. Therefore, this event is centered around TikTok and Latin America and brings together the perspectives of academics, creators, and industry professionals in and from the region, exploring the experience of the Latin American diaspora, indigenous communities, and mainstream creators. Join us for this discussion as we unpack the complexities of platforms, cultures, and content creation!
