Jeffrey S. Juris
Jeffrey S. Juris (December 10, 1971 – June 18, 2020)[1] was an American professor who taught anthropology at Northeastern University.Juris noted that social media outlets, such as Facebook and Twitter, were an important part of organizing movements at the initial stages, but have since slowed their presence on internet platforms.Juris argued that new radical democracy did not depend on a consensus among everyone, but rather a respect for other people's point of view.His last and most popular work was Networking Futures, which used extensive ethnographic research into the Barcelona-based Movement for Global Resistance.Along with his first-hand experience, interviews with key actors, social media networking, and involvement in organizing protests, Jeffrey formulated theories and proposals on why these movements have been successful.
