"Building Your Brand: Social Media and the New Academy"

  Cultivating an online presence is becoming increasingly important for scholars, particularly graduate students.  Digital publishing, online courses, remote collaboration, and virtual conferences are reshaping the academic landscape in exciting (and daunting) ways.  Join S. Alexander Smith for a discussion of how we as historians can support our scholarship through web presence and social media. Bring your lunch and your questions. This event is open to both faculty and graduate students.
