#DukeChat: Academics jump to Twitter to talk about the conventions

As the number of professors using social media multiplies, the ease with which we can get a real-time view of the opinions of today?s thinkers is increasing exponentially. Especially now, as professors report from the convention floors and their couches with an off-the-cuff mix of aggregation, commentary, news, and personal anecdote. These are the people @Chronicle will be following tonight during President Obama?s address:

Melissa Harris-Perry, Tulane University:

? Robert Reich, University of California at Berkeley:

Stephen M. Caliendo, North Central College:

Claire Potter, The New School:

Shirley Samuels, Cornell University:

Jennifer Mercieca, Texas A&M University:

Duke University and Hofstra University
