Research and presentations
Associate Professor Hyunjin Seo and Assistant Professor Hong Vu, and Ph.D. students Shola Aromona, Yuchen Liu and Fatemeh Shayesteh are co-authors of a research paper, "Hashtag Feminism Around the World: A Comparative Analysis of #MeToo Tweets," which has been accepted for presentation during the 2018 Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication conference in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 6-9. Based on network and content analyses of #MeToo tweets in several different countries, the paper examines how #MeToo hashtag activism was implemented around the world.   
 
Professor Charles Marsh has published a study analyzing the effectiveness of indirect reciprocity in evolutionary biology and economics. Marsh's research shows that the dominant practice of public relations -- looking out for No. 1 and viewing relationships as sources of conflict and competition -- is not best.

In 2017, the KU Office of Student Affairs established the Food Insecurity Committee, which is dedicated to addressing hunger and food insecurity among KU students. It's composed of students and staff tasked to build awareness about the prevalence and depth of food insecurity on campus, to develop a strategic campaign to message students and administrative stakeholders, and to build collaborative links among KU resource groups to tackle the problem. Students from Kerry Benson's J560 class used their knowledge and skills to help in this effort, including building digital ad content, creating public service announcements, establishing a social media voice for the committee, and producing video for social media use. Students presented their work to more than a dozen members of the Food Insecurity Committee on May 2 in the Clarkson Gallery.

Correction
In the May 7 Monday Memo, Assistant Professor Joseph Erba  was listed incorrectly as an associate professor. Also, doctoral student Yuchen Liu was inadvertently omitted from the item about the Center for Teaching Excellence Poster Session and Reception. Liu was part of the team of J-School faculty and students who presented their work at the poster session and reception on May 4.
