Have you attended or organized an academic book celebration or kick off party? 📚🥳 The new episode of The Social Academic podcast is live for you. Dr. Karen Gonzalez Rice is our featured guest #AcademicSky #ArtHistory theacademicdesigner.com/2026/worksho...

Hi, I'm Jennifer van Alstyne. I help faculty, researchers, and graduate students with their online presence. We get intentional so the academics I team up with feel confident showing up online. It's almost my 8 year business anniversary. I'm so excited. Reflecting on my journey ✨️🧵

Karen Gonzalez Rice says a major takeaway is that "my online presence evolves, it changes. It’s not static and I don’t have to be tied to one platform or one aesthetic or one thing. Recognizing that there’s space for all of that has felt really liberating.” theacademicdesigner.com/2026/worksho...
