On this episode, Geoff digs into academic social media and Twitter with Manu Chander and Gina (lastname). What purpose does Twitter serve for academics as a social outlet or a space for activism and the sharing of ideas? What are some ways that the “shorthand” of Twitter (GIFs, etc.) can help or hinder the rigor of academic conversation? How do Twitter and other forms of social media contribute to a form of communal “peer review” in a field where getting your ideas out is a key form of developing those ideas/conversations? How can that Twitter standard, the hashtag, help develop and strengthen scholarly communities in the vein of #ShakeRace and #MedievalTwitter. How do these platforms help us break down the walls between specializations and periods that often create false boundaries and limit our research and conversations?
