Teaching and writing can be powerful forms of activism; the public intellectual role can blend these avocations when scholars and teachers choose to write for the wide public, including taking the step of blogging or other forms of social media use. However, venturing into the virtual world of social media as a scholar, academic, or teacher/professor requires you to address a few foundation questions and consider a number of ethical issues. In this Lunch & Learn session, Professor of Education Paul Thomas will discuss how tools like Twitter and blogging can be an important component of one’s scholarly identity. Join us for lunch to discuss both why this form of public scholarship is so effective and practical questions and strategies you might use to get started.
