Yes, Amish TikTok is a thing: A Conversation with Melanie Springer-Mock

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss Mennonite and Amish representations on social media, with a particular focus on Amish TikTok. With us to discuss her research and interest in Amish TikTok is Dr. Melanie Springer-Mock, Professor of English at George Fox University. We chat about personal social media habits, authenticity, connections to reality television and lots more.
