The Worldviews Conference on Media and Higher Education will put the spotlight on social media on the afternoon of Thursday 16 June.
I’ll be talking part in a panel discussion on the implications of social media for universities at the end of the day. My focus will be on the implications of social media on how we evaluate and assess academic authority.
Here are a couple of the papers I am mentioning:
- New Media, New Scholarship in Journalism Studies
- Social media? Get serious! Understanding the functional building blocks of social media in Business Horizons.
If you are not attending, you can follow the discussions on Twitter using the hashtag #wv2011 or via the live blog on the conference website.
I’ll post the slides of my presentation on Thursday.
