Incredible to think that exactly 2 weeks ago I was at the excellent @socmedhe.bsky.social #SocMedHE24 Conference. Christmas has been and gone in the blink of an eye.

Today is a special day for @suebecks.bsky.social & I. We started #SocMedHE in 2015 w/ Helen Rodger, and with the support of many colleagues from @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social. #SocMedHE24 allows us to look back & see how our collaborative work has made impact & contributed to the SocMed community.
