Introduction

Hello readers and welcome to the blog of Julie Wildschut!

The goal and hope of this space (over the next few weeks in particular) is to take some time to write and reflect on current social media practices and study others who are experimenting, working with, or observing how, social media impacts the individual, as well as society as a whole.

Some of the topics you can expect to be covered include:
 - The impact of abstaining from social media in today’s ever connected world.
- How social media is used to facilitate change and promote activism (both the pros and cons).
- How our identities are tied to social media and the way we interact online.

I hope you enjoy reading about these topics as much as I enjoy writing about them. Feel free to comment or ask questions as you follow along!
