A bit about my research
How online information contributes to the building,
maintenance, and evaluation of personal reputations
►Personal reputation: Private individuals, rather than
corporate identity and brand
►Considers both “private” and “professional” reputation –
and how the two merge or blur together
►Two broad research themes
►How people use online information to manage their reputations
►How people evaluate the reputations using online information
Frances Ryan | @FrancesRyanPhD | www.JustAPhD.com
A bit about my research (The simplified version)
Frances Ryan | @FrancesRyanPhD | www.JustAPhD.com
A bit about you
(Yes, it’s time for those embarrassing and awkward introductions!)
►What is your name?
►What university do you attend?
►What is the topic of your PhD?
►Where are you in the process?
► Feeling brave? Tell us a fun, silly, or interesting fact about yourself, too!
I have been afraid of skunks since I was 5 years old.
That’s when the “Skunk King” visited me in a dream
telling me to “never eat creamed corn”. Funnily, I still
eat creamed corn despite my skunk phobia!
