Dreading the U.S. election?
My newest article will probably not help with that but it MIGHT help you wrap your head around the MAGA hat and why it's so triggering for folks.

Out now in @CulSoc, give it a read 🥳

@AM_Champagne Thank you, AM! 🙏

[Dr. Vanessa K. Bittner @VanKB42]

Exciting news! I just published my article on "dialectic icons" - controversial public figures who spark intense debates, help ideological camps form, and fuel social polarization as highly mediated symbols of conflict.

I had the best time at my last @CCSYale Spring Conference, and it truly felt like the end of an era!
Thank you to everyone who made my past six years there so special and I hope our paths will cross again🥰
