Like many #academics, I'm heading over to Mastodon. You can follow me there at @[email protected]. If any of my peeps are also heading to Mastodon too, shoot me a line and let me know.

The pandemic exacerbated societal inequalities, putting a strain on social services. In a new working paper, @ProfShumate and her colleagues examine care networks and compare performance before and after the emergence of COVID-19. #WorkingPaperWednesday https://t.co/cQg6hkz8fl

@Meghana_R @AcademicChatter Not a book, but I've assigned this blog so many times. https://t.co/lHy2tyINnF

@JohnBesley Monthly reduces the per event time and promotion costs. Staff/faculty hours for one event (assuming rooms are available and recording is required) about 10. Promotion depends on external or internal audience but usually there’s not enough budget for anything but digitial promo.

Almost all networks face “crossroads moments.” @ProfShumate & Katherine R. Cooper explain “the prior decisions that they make influence their options and, by extension, their outcomes.” Read on for more on how networks can negotiate these moments well. https://t.co/yXjW9oAmk7

@IsabellaKahhale 20 minute student coffee chats and 30 minute research meetings are my standard. If I could only get my faculty meeting to go to 30 minutes

[Michelle Shumate @ProfShumate]

@ohsolanier2 We'd love to talk to them @NU_MTS . And I would be happy to talk to any students interested in using research to make a greater #socialimpact in their communities.

[Michelle Shumate @ProfShumate]

I always enjoy talking with @swilley_b about #NetworksforSocialImpact. He is now leading My Brother's Keeper in Chicago and demonstrating his collaborative leadership skills. He's a #socialimpact leader to watch.

Let's talk with Allen Swilley, who works at Fair Housing Agency as a Director of Organizational Effectiveness and see how he understands nonprofits for social impact as the 4th part of our project "Understanding Networks".

@ThomasJBillard Ugh. I'm so sorry to hear that.

[Michelle Shumate @ProfShumate]

Every #network for #socialimpact will face a crossroads moment. the network will either adapt or disband. This article, which I co-authored with @katercooper, describes common crossroads moments (e.g., losing major funding) and what networks can do now to prepare to face them.

[Stanford Social Innovation Review @SSIReview]

“No network serious about social impact should expect to achieve its goals without overcoming obstacles.”@ProfShumate (@NNSI_NU) & Katherine R. Cooper (@CMNDePaul) examine how social impact networks can navigate a crisis and emerge stronger than before. https://t.co/yXjW9oAmk7
