Navigating Social Media and Traditional Media
#oah16_216
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, are just of few social
media platforms monitored by editors, producers, and writers
at traditional media outlets to see what is trending. How can
historians best exploit these new forums to cultivate an audience
and highlight their research? What sort of content are producers
at radio programs and editors at print media looking for, and how
can historians tailor their pitches to secure more media attention?
Experts from the media world will be on hand to provide insight
and tips for historians looking to navigate the ever-evolving world
of print, radio, and social media.

Feminisms and Leadership in the 1960s and ’70s

Historical Profession
#oah16_217
This panel will feature a discussion of the various approaches to
organization and leadership in the Women's, Latina and Black
feminism and the Welfare Rights movement. As these groups
worked to claim the value of their lives and to challenge patriarchal
practices, institutions and culture, they developed forms of
organizing that emphasized equality and collaboration. We will
discuss the contributions of these groups to social movement
building and the problems they encountered as they experimented
with new forms of leadership and organization
