Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Social media use is growing and the interactions around educational policy issues are also keeping pace. Moreover, the global COVID-19 pandemic is now influencing these spaces. However, little is known about how the pandemic is affecting discussions and the type of information being shared. This symposium will provide insights from different angles on how educational policy processes and interactions are discussed and possibly influenced by (groups of) individuals on social media. In order to facilitate the discussion around relevant educational policy processes, and social media, we are putting forward a proposal for a symposium that examines the broad interactions between policy and social media with insights gleaned from the global pandemic.
