The Richard A. Harrison Award for Research in The Humanities and Social Sciences

The Richard A. Harrison Award for Research in The Humanities and Social Sciences was established to honor the memory of Richard A. Harrison, who served as dean of the faculty at Lawrence University from 1992 to 1997. Kaitlin's project analyzes how user-generated memes within German-speaking social media communities perpetuate antimigratory prejudice during the "Migrationskrise" (migrant crisis) in Germany and the EU. The research aims to fill a gap in digital humanities by critically examining Germanophone meme culture and how online humor intersects with propaganda campaigns and contributes to real-world violence against migrants.
