Studying Context in Archives

I will be interviewing people who work at uncommon, special types of archives, wanting to understand how they define and interact with "context," as a term and concept, on a daily basis. Their unique collections interest different types of users and visitors, and so the archivists may need to approach those conversations and descriptions differently too. I am interested to see how broad or specific they approach "context."

Primary Source Teaching With Library Resources in K-12 Classrooms

K-12 teachers are facing an extraordinarily challenging time as our schools recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. To lend support to teachers in this difficult professional environment, this study aims to discover how archives and special collections can make online materials maximally accessible and useful for K-12 teachers. Using semi-structured interviews with ten K-12 teachers and website usage data from the "On the Books" library guide, this study will gather data about how teachers find, interact with, and teach with the online resources for primary source instruction developed by Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The findings will be considered to make recommendations for some ways that special collections librarians can better serve this group of patrons with online teaching resources.

Friend or Faux: Exploring the perceived authenticity of corporate socio-political activism on Instagram through the lens of Black Lives Matter

With partisan and racial division growing, there has been a call for corporations to take a stance on social issues, such as racial justice, and many corporations have answered, leading to an influx of organizations publicizing their stance as a form of CSA (Coman et al., 2022). Corporate social advocacy (CSA), a concept that combines elements of corporate social responsibility, CEO activism, and corporate political advocacy, refers to an organization taking a public stance on social issues (Lim & Young, 2021). The prevalence of this phenomenon has led scholars to examine the use and impact of CSA initiatives (Li et al., 2020; Parcha et al., 2020; Lim & Young, 2021). This dissertation hopes to contribute to this research area by operationalizing CSA in digital spaces, while expanding our understanding of how corporations are communicating their CSA stances on Instagram, and how the public perceives the authenticity of those messages.

Community Concerns about Flooding and Accessing Healthcare

Researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill are interested in learning from community members about how flooding from hurricanes affects their ability to access healthcare needs and services during and after a flooding event in Eastern North Carolina. The goal of this research is to gather with community members to make a list of concerns, write questions we can research, and select the questions that are most important to the community. Ultimately, we would like affected community members to have a voice in the type of research that is funded related to flooding and community health so that local and state decision-makers can respond to what matters most to the community.
