CCSN is an interdisciplinary community hub for scholars studying content creators and economies from a wide range of disciplines and approaches, such as Media and communications, sociology, digital humanities, politics, anthropology, and critical cultural studies. Our work spans themes including, but not limited to, industries and economies; creative labor and resistance; platform infrastructure, governance and moderation; identity, inequality and marginalization; social media cultures and communities; algorithms and AI. CCSN’s primary goal is to cultivate an international community of members to promote additional perspectives and studies in the field of creator culture. Members also produce educational resources, participate in journalistic interviews, and organize events and spaces for creator studies research. In addition to critically examining content creators and economies, CCSN strives to create and contribute to dialogue with industry to address concerns of power and in/equalities when possible.
