About Us
"This research pushed me outside my comfort zone and forced me to interact first-hand with hard truths about what social media is being used for in the modern day," Daisy Rehbock writes in her winning entry in the arts and humanities category of the University of Arkansas' Undergraduate Research Week Poster Competition.
Rehbock's research, which analyzed Spanish right-wing political parties via Twitter and Facebook, "is important and worth all the hours I spent scrolling right-wing Twitter and Facebook accounts," she says.
"I believe the impacts of this research are important and worth all the hours I spent scrolling right-wing Twitter and Facebook accounts," she adds, per Arkansas Matters.
"I owe her the world," Rehbock continues of her mentor, Lisa Corrigan, "for guiding me along this research process and giving me all the tools to be successful.
I feel excited and prepared for my post-grad journey as it takes me to Panama to serve in the Peace Corps and then to graduate school."
