Amanda Moore Associate Director of the the Social Media Listening Center and Lecturer, gave a well-received presentation to over 20 emeritus faculty on February 12. Her presentation focused on the Social Media Listen Center (SMLC). The Social Media Listening Center is a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research and teaching facility that seeks to monitor, measure, and engage in social media conversations from across the web and provide learning, teaching, research, and partnership opportunities to students, faculty, collaborative research partners, and external clients. The presentation highlighted the successes of Clemson’s Social Media Listening Center and outline how researchers and industry professionals have utilized the Center to examine how social media function across diverse contexts and disciplines, including active shooter incidents at the P-12 level, the 2016 U.S. presidential election, cyberbullying, and others.
