    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

  • Virtual Celebrities and Consumers: a Blended Reality
    Virtual Celebrities and Consumers: A Blended Reality How virtual celebrities are consumed in the East and West Author: Thuy Duong Hoang (115821) Yidan Su (115392) Supervisor: Claus Springborg Master’s Thesis, MSocSc Management of Creative Business Processes Copenhagen Business School Date of submission: May 15, 2019 Pages: 117 (31.960 words, 202.544 characters) excl. front page, bibliography and appendix Abstract The goal of this study is to research how virtual celebrities are consumed in the East and West. The digital revolution has led to a surge in circulation of information. This has contributed to the transformation of human attention from an innate information gathering tool to a profitable resource, paving the way for the economy of attention. Therefore, it is significant for marketers and companies to understand how to attract attention. As celebrities enjoy large amounts of attention, they have been widely used in endorsement campaigns. Yet, their human flaws can still lead to scandals. Therefore, we argue that virtual celebrities can be used as an alternative. They are a new type of celebrity, who are able to perform ‘real life’ activities and earn money. Examples from the East include the virtual singer Hatsune Miku and the virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI, while the West is represented by the virtual band Gorillaz, or virtual model Lil Miquela, among others. A descriptive approach is used to describe the preferences of Eastern and Western consumers in context of virtual celebrities. Our research philosophy consists of objectivism and positivism. Applying a deductive research strategy, we draw hypotheses from literature, which will be tested using quantitative methods.

University of Sussex October, 2016 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has not been submitted, either in the same or different form, to this or any other university for a degree. Signature: Supervisors: Dr. Nick Collins & Dr. Martin Berger Examiners: Acknowledgements I am incredibly indebted to the tremendous support and generosity of my wife Jessica, and our two amazing children, Lorelei and Tristan. They have followed me across the world and helped me follow my dreams. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and kept me grounded when I became lost. I am also incredibly grateful to have had two of the most inspiring, knowledgeable, and supportive supervisors, Nick Collins and Martin Berger. Nick began me on this journey and never led me astray. Witnessing his daring work and hearing his sharp wit are two things I’ll dearly miss about this time. As well, Martin has been been an incredibly consistent and energizing figure. He provoked interesting and new ideas and helped build my confidence when I sorely lacked it. The execution of this research could not have been possible without my collabora- tors and friends, Cole Ingraham, Curtis McKinney, and Benjamin O’Brien. They suffered through my mad whimsy and endured experimentations with software version of highly dubious stability. Their creativity and insight made this research much better than it could have been otherwise. I would like to especially thank Curtis, who started down a path that I’ve only been following.
