"I was thrilled to be awarded the LMU Ascending Scholar prize. It is a deeply meaningful award because it comes from the LMU community, which I have been a part of since 2019 and which has been foundational to my growth and development" notes Laughlin.
Laughlin is currently working on a book project centered around the alt-tech movement and disinformation online. "I'm particularly grateful to the Communication Studies department and the College of Communication and Fine Arts for their support of my research" she says.
