Social Media Meets Politics With Dr. Desmond U. Patton, Associate Professor of Social Work at Columbia University

Here we are on social media, using good ol’ technology to get the scoop and be in the loop. A concept that touches the good, the bad, and the ugly, social media has many uses and capabilities. It houses interactions, patterns, and varied forms of linguistics. Each of these elements carries itself into the realm of politics and it’s one that we dove into with Dr. Desmond U. Patton, Associate Professor of Social Work at Columbia University. In our conversation, and latest episode, we peeled back some of the many layers of the social media dilemma as it relates to politics, race, and communication in the 21st century. Through this dialogue, light is shed on both Dr. Patton’s work at the intersection of technology, social work, and politics, as well as its relation to current events, like the January 6 insurrection.
