TBC<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The first workshop, Who does the Internet think you are?<\/strong> <\/em>is a discussion of if and how emerging academics can be pro-active in creating or \u2018designing\u2019 a coherent online presence, including practical matters such as selecting your online name and keywords, as well as the pros and cons of commonly used sites for showcasing academic work. Click here<\/a> to register for the first workshop.<\/p>\n

By the end of the four Designing the academic self<\/em><\/strong> sessions, attendees will have a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of metrics and how such tools can extend the audience for one’s work; of evolving academic writing practices in the face of new modes of dissemination and measurement; and of the critical questions such changes are provoking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
