Blowing up the Academic CV
It's time for me not just to update my CV, but make it reflect my move into the digital humanities and other digital realms.
@readywriting Hypothetically, under "Social Media Involvement" or "Social Media Expertise" or "Social Media Content Expert" or...u get th pt
@readywriting I have a section in my CV called "Online Scholarly/Academic Contributions." It's where I put academic blogging/tweeting.- @readywriting My work with Sounding Out! I have it under another section though, since I do more than blog/participate there.
- @readywriting I used to have it under "Service to the Profession" but I have it in "Online Academic Contributions" in my last draft.
@readywriting I put the blog I co-founded under “professional service.” Seems to be a chat could go there, too. Or?
@readywriting If you're proud of it, absolutely. Good conversation starter for the right job.
@readywriting I just applied to a position for which it was relevant and so I put it under Relevant Online Scholarly Activity under Pubs
@readywriting I'd put it in scholarship or teaching-leaning more toward scholarship as it's ongoing public forum & UR founder/facilitator- @readywriting I put my participation in it under the teaching section as prof. development activity
@readywriting FWIW, I think twitter chats are the new/nascent professional association, so list there. And CV? How old school.
@readywriting I have two sections: New Media/Electronic Writing (which might not fit...) and a Related Experience section (which might)
@readywriting Maybe under professional service. If you are brave I would create a Digital Services section. I'm thinking about it. #FYCchat
@readywriting Have you seen Cathy Davidson's article re: representing online publications on CVs? Subcategories! bit.ly/KXM7vr
@readywriting if it's formal media (eg the blog for a major newspaper/website) then put it there. Otherwise doesn't go on CV- @readywriting though I can't think of when a forum post would ever be appropriate in most disciplines
