OU Researchers Sherri Irvin, Karlos Hill, and Jeong-Nam Kim were recently awarded the OU Small-Scale Grant GRA Match award for their project “Social Media, Race, and Community Knowledge Construction.”
The Small-Scale Grant GRA Match Program is intended to stimulate and enhance OU research and creative activity through partial support for a graduate research assistant position on small-scale, externally funded institutional grants. The match program is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnerships, the Data Institute for Societal Challenges (DISC), the Institute for Community and Society Transformation (ICAST), and the OU Arts and Humanities Forum.
Irvin said if the accompanying federal grant is successfully funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the project team will convene a live-streamed conference to examine the possibilities and pitfalls of digital construction of shared knowledge, especially at the meeting place of social media and race. Irvin is the Graduate College Senior Associate Dean, a Presidential Research Professor of Philosophy and director of the project.
