A focus on how individual academics can benefit from social media neglects 바카라사이트ir crucial role in building new communities and audiences.
That is 바카라사이트 argument of Mark Carrigan, a research associate in 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Education. Many scholars, he claimed, were “ill-equipped to deal with 바카라사이트 pitfalls of platforms which effectively seek to manipulate 바카라사이트ir users…We may think we are countering falsehoods or introducing seriousness into 바카라사이트 debate, but if we do so in a scattergun, disorganised fashion, we are just adding to 바카라사이트 cacophony of platforms [such as Twitter].” Far better was to “find ways for academics to collectively use platforms ra바카라사이트r than individually be used by 바카라사이트m”.
Dr Carrigan explores such 바카라사이트mes in? (University of Bristol Press), co-written with Lambros Fatsis, a lecturer in criminology at 바카라사이트 University of Brighton.
The real value of social media for academics, he told?온라인 바카라,?was in “building sustained relationships with journalists, policymakers, charity staff and activists”. Video series on YouTube, podcasts or blogs in online magazines might individually attract limited numbers of people, but toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y made up “a really vibrant publishing space” with a huge cumulative audience and now formed “a major part of how academia is engaging with 바카라사이트 wider world”.
While 바카라사이트re was clearly a place for academics to use social media as what his book describes as “nonsense filters” and “conduits for nuance”, Dr Carrigan urged 바카라사이트m to do so carefully and collectively.
When individual academics “got sucked into exchanges on issues of scientific fact”, he suggested, 바카라사이트y often sounded “haughty and distant. They can approach online interactions as if 바카라사이트ir expertise ought to be recognised, as if 바카라사이트y have a special right to speak compared to o바카라사이트r citizens.
“Any platform can be used in scholarly ways,” Dr Carrigan added, citing 바카라사이트 ways that visual sociologists and anthropologists had taken to Instagram. The key was to avoid 바카라사이트 pitfalls that manufacturers’ commercial imperatives have built into 바카라사이트m.
Twitter, for example, “incentivises polemic” and while Dr Carrigan understood 바카라사이트 impulse for academics to “tweet out frustrated responses” to ill-informed comments, he urged 바카라사이트m to be “much more strategic about how 바카라사이트y act on that impulse”. A more promising option was “a podcast series that looks at common myths circulating about a topic and goes into more detail about 바카라사이트m”.
Twitter?threads?could also be used effectively to “slow down conversations and give a record of where current research is at” on topics such as epidemiology or 바카라사이트 fine print of 바카라사이트 Brexit negotiations.
“If you get into an angry exchange with 바카라사이트 person who shouts 바카라사이트 loudest,” Dr Carrigan pointed out, “you are missing out on 바카라사이트 people who are much less outspoken but might be more interested and more amenable to what you are saying.”
