Title: How to Use Social Media and Blogging to Your Professional Advantage
Increasingly, academics are using social media and blogging to advance their careers, build relationships, and promote their work or university. Yet many academics still think of having a public profile online as unprofessional and a distraction from serious work. In this seminar, I will share my successes and failures at being a public academic online. We will discuss how to protect your reputation, how to network with other scholars, how to use social media to signal to potential employers, and how to balance social media with other responsibilities.
