Description
Social media has become an integral part of academic life, offering new opportunities to publish and publicise your work, network in your discipline and beyond, and engage with the public. However, doing so successfully requires a careful understanding of best practice, the risks, rewards, and what it can mean to put your professional identity online. This guide provides practical guidance and thoughtful insight on how to approach the opportunities and challenges that social media presents in ways that are satisfying and sustainable as an academic. It has been updated throughout to reflect changes in social media and digital thinking since its last edition, including new forms of multimedia engagement, auditing your online identity, and taking time out from social media.
