Vanessa is a PhD candidate in the Sociology department at Yale University. In her research, she studies controversial icons, and why they polarize audiences. Analyzing cases like Colin Kaepernick and Greta Thunberg, she shows that controversies surrounding them are not just celebrity scandals, but tools of communication that allow groups with different values to draw boundaries between themselves and others.
