Overall Research Project Description Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, now X Corp, has been a household topic for months now. Some early research suggests there was an increase in hate speech and that Musk's "free speech absolutist" approach served as a signal to users that previously unaccepted forms of speech would now be accepted. In this study, we will analyze the content of tweets belonging to a random sample of about 5000 accounts which were previously banned then reinstated by Musk. We will observe the political attitudes, information quality, and substantive topics in these tweets to see what the accounts reinstated by Musk are actually doing.

Research Tasks literature review, content analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: basic understanding of Microsoft Excel,

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy is centered around tailored guidance, mentee autonomy, constructive feedback, and celebrating diverse persepectives.
Effective mentoring is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each mentee is distinct, with their own aspirations, strengths, and challenges. My philosophy emphasizes the importance of customized guidance, where I collaborate with the mentee to co-create a tailored roadmap that aligns with their goals and aspirations.
I also try to harness mentees' sense of responsibility and individuality to collaborate with them; it's about empowering mentees to discover their own insights and solutions. I strive to create an environment that encourages critical thinking, self-discovery, and autonomy.
I approach feedback as a constructive and developmental process, fostering a growth mindset that sees challenges as opportunities and failures as stepping stones to success. I aim to create an environment where feedback is welcomed, celebrated, and integrated into the journey of improvement.
Finally, I am dedicated to creating a mentoring space that respects and celebrates individual differences, while also addressing systemic barriers. By embracing diverse perspectives and experiences, we can create the strongest arguments for our research.
