New Kelli Marshall article in The Chronicle of Higher Education

Dr. Kelli Marshall has a new article published in the Chronicle of Higher Education, entitled "It's Getting Personal in Here." Dr. Marshall examines how social media has changed the ways in which students can learn about their instructors' personal lives.

                     

"Thanks to social media, teacher-student relationships aren’t quite so simple anymore. Historically, of course, students and faculty have interacted informally on campus and off — in a grocery-store checkout line or at adjacent tables in a restaurant. But social-networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have introduced another, different space that contributes to a blurring of boundaries between professional and personal personas," says Marshall.

Dr. Marshall is a regular contributor to the Chronicle. Her articles are available here: https://chroniclevitae.com/people/22828-kelli-marshall/articles
