#socrel23 — Public Fediverse posts

@nvraemdonck @IAMCR I think we’re still figuring it out. You make a good point: I was just reflecting on this after #Socrel23 this past week, where I (still) used Twitter to share moments from the conference. With a small amount of engagement from those within the room. But we’re talking a much smaller group, and with sociology of religion as the primary focus. I would expect a group like #iamcr23 to be leaders on this front - more engaged with the questions and experimenting with practice.

2) I did think of posting in parallel on Mastodon - using this space more has been on my mind this week anyway. But I don't know how many if any Socrel members are on here and haven't had the time or energy to look for them yet.

I did a hashtag search for #socrel23 and saw one participant, Naomi Lawson Jacobs, shared their poster here as well as on Twitter. This is great and a place to start... but we're going to need more than two of us.

I had a really great time at #socrel23 - the annual conference of the Sociology of Religion Study Group for the British Sociological Association. I built a space for myself at conferences through tweets, and I did so this week.

We're not a huge group, but there were usually a few others who would engage, comment, etc, plus those outside the event keeping tabs through the hashtag.

Two things (in two more toots):
1) Engagement is down on Twitter
2) Next to nothing on Mastodon

Thank you so much to the #SOCREL23 organising team, the #BSA, & everyone here, for a really collegial conference with so much fantastic research and so many excellent conversations. I’m looking forward to next year!
