Things are evolving quickly: This page is outdated. There is a new page which collaboratively gathers lists based on Academcis on Mastodon. Please visit https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon.
How to find your academic peers on mastodon? Or discover new interesting researchers in your discipline? I started a list of sociologists, which now turned to a minimalistic web app that has been adapted for other disciplines. Here I try to give an overview over these different websites.
How does it work? The websites provide you with a list of academics from a discipline or field of research. You can select all or specific accounts and eport them in a CSV file, which can be uploaded to your Mastodon account in order to follow them all in one go.
Currently there are:
There are also several groups for academic topics and disciplines.
- @sociology@a.gup.pe
- @anthropology@a.gup.pe
- @ecologies@a.gup.pe
- @academicsunite@a.gup.pe (academic working conditions)
If you want to set up a list for your discipline as well, please have a look at our GitHub repository. You are welcome to tag me, wehen you post your webpage, so I can share it here and on Mastodon (@perspektivbrocken@social.tchncs.de). You are also invited to contribute to this minimalistic, but hopefully usefull tool further.
