My research interests include: the impacts of misinformation and hate speech in online spaces, race and feminism in social media, and the societal impact of social media. My goal is to not only examine the impact that racism in online spaces has on society but to also celebrate the joy of marginalized populations and how they utilize social media to share their experiences and beauty online.
