Dr. Katie Howie, Assistant Professor of Marketing at The University of 草榴社区 Mississippi
(草榴社区), served as one of the featured experts in an article titled, 鈥淲hat is Cancel
Culture and Who Benefits?鈥� published by Divided We Fall庐.
In an excerpt from her perspective piece, Howie notes:
鈥淔or a discussion of the potential dangers or merits of 鈥榗ancel culture,鈥� it鈥檚 imperative to define the term. 鈥淐ancel culture鈥� is a newer cultural phenomenon whereby a group of people attempts to remove an individual鈥檚 or organization鈥檚 power, platform, financial resources, or livelihood. Typically, 鈥渃ancel culture鈥� targets public figures, but instances of canceling ordinary citizens are not uncommon. It takes place when people perceive that the target has transgressed against moral or social norms.鈥�
