The Journal of Social Media in Society


The Journal of Social Media in Society (JSMS) is proud to announce that Dr. Amber L. Harris Bozer, assistant professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences, will become the journal’s first associate editor.

A product of the Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI), the peer-reviewed JSMS launched its first issue in 2012, and its success and growth has led to the need for an addition to the editorial team.

The founding editors, Dr. Sarah Maben, Communication Studies, and Dr. Credence Baker, Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Assistant Graduate Dean of the College of Graduate Studies, started the journal to give authors a place to publish cutting edge research devoted to social media and mobile technology.

“Dr. Harris Bozer brings her methodological strengths and research savvy to our leadership team,” Maben said. “We have always been a multi-disciplinary effort and are excited to expand to include her psychology and neuroscience background.”

Harris Bozer joined the Department of Psychological Sciences at Tarleton State University in January of 2014. She teaches a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, primarily in the biological psychology areas. Her EEG lab investigates how chronic pain is processed in the brain. In addition to her neuroscience research, she has been involved in teaching-as-research projects. She is also the parliamentarian for the Faculty Senate, and previously served as a reviewer for The JSMS.

A Tarleton alumna, Harris Bozer received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Social Work in 2008. She obtained a Master of Science in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Experimental Psychology from Tarleton in 2010, and her Master of Science in Health Psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2013. She earned her doctorate from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2015 and specialized in Neuroscience.
