SMH Facebook/Twitter Management Team
As part of the Society for Military History’s ongoing effort to make more effective use of social media, four of its members have been appointed to two-year terms to manage the society’s presence on Facebook and Twitter. All of these historians work for the U.S. Army at Fort Leavenworth, which should facilitate communication, coordination, and an equitable division of labor as we launch this effort. The fifth member of the team is the inaugural winner of the SMH Mark Grimsley Fellowship in Social Media.
The SMH Facebook and Twitter Management Team will post items of professional interest on the Society’s Facebook Group, serve as gatekeepers to ensure that only SMH members are admitted to the group, and monitor members’ postings to ensure they remain civil. They will also oversee that Society's Twitter feed. In the near future, the team will also establish a new Facebook Page, which will serve as a public bulletin board on SMH activities and achievements.
The first members of the SMH Facebook and Twitter Management Team are
- Dr. Ricardo A. Herrera, Associate Professor of Military History, School of Advanced Military Studies;
- Dr. Gregory S. Hospodor, Associate Professor, Department of Military History, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College;
- Dr. Janet G. Valentine, Associate Professor, Department of Military History, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College;
- Michael Doidge, ABD, a historian at the Combat Studies Institute;
- Gregory Stern, the Mark Grimsley SMH Fellow in Social Media and a doctoral candidate at Florida State University.
