Social Media Risks and Realities Presentation


Who is Cambridge Analytica? How did they build psychological profiles of millions of Facebook users and target them with information? Could it happen again? Are teens safe on social media? Are any of our identities safe?

On Sunday, July 29, 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm, learn about these topics as longtime Urbana native Dr. Aimee Rickman of California State University, Fresno, shares information from her new book, Adolescence, Girlhood, and Media Migration: US Teens Use of Social Media to Negotiate Offline Struggles (2018, Lexington Books).  Meet in the Lewis Auditorium at the Urbana Free Library, 210 W Green St, Urbana.
