New #introduction for all the fresh faces. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.
I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press, so feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project.
I've been on Mastodon since 2018, largely as a lurker, but have enjoyed it and have loved seeing my personal and professional networks show up in recent days. With @bethanyklein,I'm helping communication and media studies scholars (#commodon) find one another through this list. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vFWP_eBXrjeDqDkmT6PEbxnsZ_QFC4OgEgUHTrJWhhQ/edit?usp=sharing
Lastly, if you're an academic in any field, there are numerous lists of scholars at this point to help you find your colleagues. Thanks to @hendrikerz for helping to aggregate them. https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon
Oh, and if you're deciding whether to follow me, here's an example of the sort of stuff I'm likely to post. (Short version: Lots of notes on reading for my book project.) https://sciences.social/@josh/109353025071181659

@josh Thanks Josh, they all look great! Did not realize Emily's book was out, I'll need to get that. A long time ago she was studying greeting card exchange and I was studying mix tape exchange and we had a lot to talk about.
@slobster48602 That's awesome! Glad you know each other and that I've made a book sale for her. I hope you find a lot to talk about, again.
