I’ve been featured on the academia.edu blog in a discussion about the intersections of my work, the analytics the site provides, and pursuing new lines of research.

It was a fascinating discussion with science writer Courtney Quirin – I shared my approaches and the ways I’ve chronicled the movement of people through keywords to my profile; she also suggested a few great ways to improve my interpretation of those numbers.* If you are considering sharing your research and want a great platform to connect with scholars in intersecting ways, academia.edu could be the right place for you.
