From Academia to Social Media

I researched Jocelyn Hollander for this blog post, she's a published author from the latest issue of Gender & Society I obtained. She and C.J. Pascoe wrote the essay, "Good Guys Don't Rape: Gender, Domination, and Mobilizing."

I was able to find Hollander on linkedin and facebook.

She has a very professional persona, but allows some of her personal interests to be shown public. On her facebook, her profile pic celebrates marriage equality, she follows very liberal and social-justice oriented people, and is interested in sociology, community, and gender-related groups. Her linkedin shows that she has had a very good education from well-known schools, and has obtained a Ph. D in sociology, so she's credible.

How does their persona on social media differ from their persona in the pages of the academic journal?

I couldn't see her facebook posts, unfortunately, so I haven't seen writing besides the pages in her academic journal. In, "Good Guys Don't Rape: Gender, Domination, and Mobilizing," the writing has sophisticated language, makes use of question and answer style, and has a liberal, feminist bias, but remains factual.
