Sam Haskell will defend her project titled "Cancel Culture: A Qualitative Analysis of the Social Media Practice of Canceling" next month.

Location: https://boisestate.zoom.us/j/97569722576
Date and Time: 05/24/2021, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Committee: Dr. Manda Hicks (chair), Dr. Rulon Wood, and Dr. Rick Moore
Abstract:
Unlike previous forms of public shaming, canceling is a product of Web 2.0 and the boom of social media. The act of canceling is inherently tied to the word “canceled”, however, how the public defines a cancelation is not static. Instead, how those on social media partake and understand canceling is due to consistent strategies that emerge during a cancelation. In this research, I conducted a case study of the cancelation of Kevin Spacey that took place in 2017.
Over 1700 tweets discussing Kevin Spacey’s cancelation were captured in order to determine the process of canceling. Through qualitative content analysis, multiple strategies were revealed that
illuminated how the public utilizes social media to participate in cancel culture. This research demonstrates how canceling functions and the strategies that appear throughout the process of a
cancelation.

Students having trouble adjusting to remote classes should start by talking to their professors. Let them know they’re struggling. They want to help students do well, even if that help has to be from a distance. Students should also take a look at the tips and tools on the Learning Remotely web page and get familiar with all of the resources available to them.
