Welcome to Tell Me More!, a podcast for amplifying the work of graduate students. In this episode, we hear from Joel Bergholtz, a fourth-year PhD candidate at Florida State University in the Department of English. Joel walks us through his dissertation project on birther artifacts and the spreading of birther conspiracies, or the notion that various politicians of color must be publicly investigated. Joel also talks about race-based skepticism in public spaces and what we can do to understand them.
If you'd like to learn more, chat about digital literacy and methodology, or discuss his topic further, email Joel at jmb10c@my.fsu.edu.
