João Carlos Magalhães, Dr.
João Carlos Magalhães ist Postdoc-Forscher im Projekt “Platform Governance and Copyright” (H2020).
Seine Forschungsagenda konzentriert sich im Großen und Ganzen darauf, wie Plattformen regieren und regiert werden können. Ein Großteil seiner Forschung hat sich mit der Beziehung zwischen algorithmischer Macht und Demokratie befasst. In seiner Doktorarbeit, die er an der Abteilung für Medien und Kommunikation der LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) verfasst hat, untersuchte er, wie das algorithmische Sichtbarkeitsregime von Facebook die Art und Weise beeinflusst hat, in der sich zuvor ungebundene Benutzer während der politischen Krise Brasiliens 2013-2018 als politische Bürger – d.h. als ihre bürgerliche Stimme – ausdrücken und verstehen konnten.
João hat außerdem einen MSc-Abschluss (Distinction) in Media Governance von derselben LSE-Abteilung erhalten, mit einer Dissertation über Brasiliens “Internet Bill of Rights”. Zuvor studierte er Geschichte und Journalismus und arbeitete als Redakteur, Reporter und Korrespondent bei Folha de S.Paulo, Brasiliens führender Zeitung, wo er hauptsächlich über Politik, öffentliche Politik und Menschenrechte schrieb.
