Hire enough faculty to have classes small enough so that the professors can get to know the students as individuals.
- Vanessa on 12 Jul 15
  
  To me, this is such a major point. I wonder, however, what the masses value. Human interaction doesn't come cheaply. I think that if a MOOC provides as much instructor interaction as a regular university course, then the university needs to rethink what they're doing. (And yes, I know this is the case in many instances, including some instances in which class size would allow greater instructor-student interaction). Thoughts?

  I find this concept of academic microcelebrity fascinating. It makes me question why we do the things we do. Are we trying to become microcelebs? Or to have a meaningful impact on our fields -- which may involve finding new ways of doing things, collaborating with others, etc.

A systematic analysis of my public writing makes the case that as academics are increasingly called to “publicly engage,” we have not fully conceptualized or counted the costs of public writing from various social locations.
- Vanessa on 12 Jul 15
  
  This statement really resonates with me -- I feel like the notion of being a public scholar has been tossed around and is valued in name, but few people are taking the time to really explore what it might mean. Further, the systems in which we operate as academics (tenure and promotion systems, hiring, evaluation) are such that publicly engaging may be just as likely to backfire on the individual as it is to support the individual.

I know some bloggers who are actively lobbying to consider their blogs as scholarship. Some have submitted archives as part of promotion dossiers. Generally, they're not at R1 universities -- although there are plenty of R1 scholars who see how blogging and other social media interactions can enhance their scholarship via promoting their work and building their networks. And many have also talked about the effect it has had on their writing. I think I'll blog about that sometime in the next week.
