- structures of historical political organizations
- why the structure and practices that work do work
- how networked compiled by social media platforms tend to be structured, also if there is a difference between that and how online social networks were structured prior
- political projects which have been made easier or made possible by the internet
- organization theory, but less corporate and focused on hierarchical organizations
- methods of community building and how early action affects community structure and health down the line
Any recommendations are appreciated. Books, articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, etc
I would also love to talk with anyone who has relevant experience building online communities or with connecting the online to the physical
