Women’s Clubs, Academia & Social Media

I have spoken several times about the need for academics to use social media to promote their research. Below is an example of how social media and the real world came together.

In the Spring, I answered a Tweet from NPR’s the Salt about the cookbooks produced by Junior League organizations as fundraisers.

That led to an interview with an NPR reporter and this story.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from the president of the Daytona Beach Junior League who had heard the story on the radio. Last night, I spoke to the organization in honor of its 80 year anniversary:“Women’s Clubs: Well Behaved Women Who Helped Create Community.“

The organization was kind enough to promote my blog and thus continuing the discussion about the women’s pages.
