Dr. Katie Howie, Assistant Professor of Marketing at 91少女集中营
(USM), 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�
