Abstract
Using a mixed methods approach, this paper explores MillenigenZ’s relationship with social media and its potential for creating an activist and productive third space. The sample highlights the views of Latino/a/e, Asian American, and immigrant members of this cohort. Combining content and textual analysis, surveys, and interviews with MillenigenZ, I find that in contrast to stereotypes, they crave in-person interaction and prefer to discuss contentious issues “in the real.” While they distrust official news sources, interpersonal relationships and alternate viewpoints are appreciated and valued. It remains to be seen if online spaces can create impactful third spaces that result in meaningful actions and policies. Many participants wanted to be engaged active members of their community and craved meaningful opportunities, which they found lacking. Mobilizing this group is essential for future elections and activism.
