    Public Relations Review 45 (2019) 101773 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Public Relations Review journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/pubrev E-Racing together: How starbucks reshaped and deflected racial conversations on social media T ⁎ Alison N. Novaka, , Julia C. Richmondb a Rowan University, 301 High Street, 325, Glassboro, NJ, United States b Drexel University, 3141 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: In March 2015, Starbucks introduced its #RaceTogether campaign to encourage patrons to Starbucks discuss race and ethnicity in global culture. Public reaction to #RaceTogether was largely critical Twitter and resulted in Starbucks' abandoning the campaign within a year. Through an analysis of 5000 Reputation management #RaceTogether tweets, this study examines how users engaged the campaign and each other. Race This study draws three conclusions. First, most #RaceTogether posts featured extremist and Brand racist positions. Second, #RaceTogether posts deflected race conversations and critiqued the Social media organizations role in national racial discourses. Finally, posts in the digital space critiqued Starbucks as a location for inter-racial dialogue because of brand perception. This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, com- mercial, or not-for-profit sectors. 1. Introduction In March 2015, Starbucks introduced its #RaceTogether campaign designed to encourage patrons to openly discuss and debate the contemporary treatment and place of race and ethnicity in global culture. In the aftermath of police violence targeted towards American minorities (and specifically Black Americans), the corporation intended to provide a physical and digital space forcus- tomers to reflect on recent events (Hernandez, 2015).

  • A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization
    A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization Sarah E. Lyon-Hill Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Planning, Governance and Globalization Max O. Stephenson, Jr. Chair Robert H. Leonard Kim L. Niewolny A. Scott Tate November 18, 2019 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: New Institutionalism, Fields, Agency, Community Cultural Development, Arts Organizations, Appalachia Copyright © 2019 A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization Sarah Lyon-Hill ABSTRACT This research draws on New Institutionalist theory as interpreted by Fligstein and McAdam (2012) to explore the relationship between structure and agency within one nonprofit organization, Appalshop, located in Central Appalachia. Since 1969, Appalshop has worked with peer institutions to form a larger community cultural development (CCD) field, characterized by actors that value the potential of art and cultural activities to create space for individual and collective imagining and reimagining of communities. Through an exploration of archival documents and interviews with 18 current and former Appalshop staff, I analyzed the organization’s 50-year evolution. I identified ways in which Appalshop has operated in the midst of different enabling and inhibiting structural forces, how its staff has sought to assert agency by contesting or circumventing those extant forces, and how the ensuing tensions have shaped the organization’s approach to social change. During its evolution, Appalshop can be seen as having gone through four different stages characterized by changing national policy and culture as well as the actions of different generations of Appalshop staff.

BOWDLER May 2013 Copyright Jonathan A. Bowdler 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis will explore the regional and cultural dimensions of the Back-to-the-Land movement during the 1970s in an effort to move scholarship away from applying theoretical constructs such as post-modernism to diverse social movements. By drawing on the three main Back-to-the-Land publications, namely the Whole Earth Catalog, Mother Earth News, and the Foxfire books, this paper will demonstrate the varying impulses and regional nuances of the movement as well as the continuity and discontinuity of the back-to-nature tradition in America.
