Dr. Amanda Bradshaw, assistant professor of integrated marketing communications at the University of Mississippi, and Dr. Marquita Smith, associate dean for graduate programs and research in the School of Journalism and New Media at the University of Mississippi, who conducted the research, join us to talk about their ongoing research on the role of social media in family dynamics, specifically focusing on the perspectives of mothers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
