Early Career Victorianists and Social Media
Writing about web page http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13555502.2012.689504
A quick post to note that this blog has been featured in an article on "Early Career Victorianists and Social Media: Impact, Audience and Online Identities" (due to appear in an issue of the Journal of Victorian Culture published later this year, but available online now).
Written by Amber Regis (who blogs over at Looking Glasses at Odd Corners), the article explores the ways in which a new generation of Victorian studies academics are utilising blogs and twitter in their research and career development. Along with Bob Nicholson and Paul Dobraszczyk, I was interviewed on my use of social media and appear in the finished article in a section discussing the value of blogging for academic practice. Throughout the article, Amber discusses issues of Impact and the REF, the value of Twitter for academic communities, and the ways in which we craft online identities.
The article is one of a pair on social media, accompanied by Rohan Maitzen's "Scholarship 2.0: Blogging and/as Academic Pratice"; Rohan blogs at Novel Readings and writes here about the many ways in which blogging has served to enhance her teaching and research. Both articles provide valuable discussion of the new forms of academic practice that are opening up new possibilities and changing the ways in which we think, write, and research. I'm proud to be a part of this new academic community and grateful that I was able to participate in this discussion - many thanks to Amber for including me in the article.
