Description:

Twitter has become an important site for scholarly communication in a public sphere, allowing academics to expand the reach and impact of their research beyond traditional channels. Academics use Twitter for sharing and discussing research; for current awareness; for networking; for conference participation; for teaching - and for poking fun at academia.

In this virtual workshop, you’ll explore the role of Twitter in the scholarly conversation. You’ll develop and refine your academic Twitter skills through hands-on activities and discussion on Twitter. And you’ll participate together with a community of your colleagues.
