    Ep 7: Making Identities, Part 4: Antionette
    Jul 8 2022
    This is the 4th and final episode in the 4-partseries, Making Identities. Antionette (Nette) struggles to establish a presence in social media, and in life, because at the same time she wants to fit in and be accepted, she is kind of terrified about losing herself in the crowd—that is, losing her individuality and being absorbed into the norms. Fortunately she finds an understanding and helpful researcher, Michael Slater at Ohio State, who helps her think about this challenge in a whole new way and see a promising future for herself.
