Reviews

If you care about the future of academic work (... and academic workers) then this is a 'must read' collection of chapters. These are some of the biggest names in the digital social sciences, and it is wonderful to see their ideas and arguments extended well beyond the usual 140 characters! - Neil Selwyn, Monash University The growing use of social media in academia, and the increasing importance of maintaining a digital profile and professional online identity, should be recognised, acknowledged, and discussed. The Digital Academic brings together leading participants in the online academic environment, and we see through their analyses how multifaceted, complex, and beneficial, online experiences, reputation, and identities are within the modern Higher Education context. Melissa Terras, University College London
