Social Media and Society Conference: EARLY CAREER SCHOLARS WORKSHOP

Dr. Hodson was awarded Research and Professional Development funds to organize a workshop at a conference to offer opportunities for emerging scholars related to social media studies.

This workshop, organized by an international group of emerging scholars, offers an opportunity for emerging scholars to learn from each other, develop their networks, and discuss their unique experiences among a group of peers. It will address both challenges and opportunities unique to early-career researchers in the many fields and forms of scholarship related to social media studies. Including an innovative fishbowl format, followed by a panel of senior scholars who can act as mentors and advisors, this workshop will build new connections, strengthen old ones, and help to facilitate an international network of emerging technology scholars who can benefit from peer support.
