Theorizing on women, academe, blogging, and power
A story about how women destroy their careers by blogging led me and some tweeps to theorize on how group status, legitimacy shape role of women in social media.

@tressiemcphd Esp since social media engagement is not part of T&P criteria. #highered
@tressiemcphd Odd. Does an academic article not exist in the same way? Perhaps with more chance of being archived forever?
@tressiemcphd i definitely understand this. it took me a long time to open up my blog. even still, i have anxiety around it...- @tressiemcphd I think maybe the fear is how much larger the audience can be, & how much more immediate and uncensored, on a blog.
- @tressiemcphd Like it needs to be confirmed as good by others before it's made "public" (& of course many journal articles aren't public)
- @tressiemcphd I guess it would mean I am egotistical too ;-) Oh well... (this is an interesting issue though, in seriousness!)
