This webinar, the second in the three-part series of Academics Online events focusing on digital harassment and public scholarship, will introduce practical tips for academics and others who engage on social media, particularly through Twitter. Focusing on Twitter functionality, common practices to navigate focused attacks by extremist online communities, methods for blocking accounts or protecting one’s tweets and/or identity will be discussed. This workshop will also touch on other related privacy practices. The workshop will be conducted by Paula R. Curtis (Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer in History, UCLA), who has also created guides to best practices for Twitter use as well as experienced digital-based harassment firsthand.
