Students and Graduates!

This session of the PhD Iceberg Explained Series is about the use of social media and in what ways you can sell yourself as a PhD student/candidate. Enculturation is a characteristic of social media which I describe some of its aspects that are popular in PhD education. Those being #s, university branding, entrepreneurship, blogs, vlogs, and many more to stand out yourself within the PhD social media world! I hope you enjoy hearing this session. Thank you for tuning in, it's been a pleasure!
