HIGHLIGHTED RESEARCH

BLACK TWITTER AND THE GREEN BOOK

A Mixed Methods Qualitative Project

I led a team of four other researchers from research design to publication writing.  18 participants were interviewed and over 75,000 tweets were collected using MAXQDA.  We used Taguette to conduct open coding.  Four papers were published from this project.  News coverage about our research can be seen below and includes a live interview with Zerlina on MSNBC as well as print stories in The Root, Boulder Weekly, and the Denver Post.
