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.

Biology Office Hours

In the United States, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines typically have lower rates of retention than other fields, such as the social sciences. Retention rates in some STEM disciplines are even lower for groups that are underrepresented and marginalized in academia and STEM. Office hours are the primary vector for interaction between most students and their instructors. To address both the challenges of teaching across different classroom sizes and building equitable and effective learning experiences for all students, this project will examine the role that pedagogical practices, student and instructor perceptions and attitudes, course structures, and campus environments have on student outcomes and retention in STEM. Specifically, we seek to understand faculty and student usage and perceptions of STEM course office hours.
