"The fellowships are designed to help faculty and others research their area of interest in the social media/new media fields," said Dr. Credence Baker, co-director of TSMRI. The fellows will present at the TSMRI conference in November and produce a social media oriented research project during the year.

Each of the fellows was selected for the fellowship based on prior research experience and research agenda, Baker said. The selected TSMRI fellows anticipate researching a variety of areas including presidential campaign rhetoric in social media venues, why public educational institutions who were early adopters of social media use have made the decision to discontinue use, dissemination of environmental issues, the impact of social media in college athletics, the roles of social media in higher education, social media and tourism, expectations of privacy, perception, image of those who engage in social networking, and understanding niche social networks.


Applications for fellowships are posted at www.tinyurl.com/tsmrifellow each year, and are due in mid-March.
