Pedagogies of Difference and Desire
Anna Wilson
Social media form an increasingly important aspect of the lives of professionals in many occupations, both as opportunities to acquire and exchange information and as places to find or create a supportive community.

This book adopts a different approach. More information (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2020).
