The Language of LinkedIn: Popular Publications, the Gender Gap, and Pedagogy
Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, v82 n4 p401-417 Dec 2019
Business communication instructors can improve their own instruction about networking online given further understanding of the gender gap among LinkedIn users. An analysis of the rhetoric of magazine advice articles finds gendered differences in the representation of LinkedIn to readers. Examining how publications talk about LinkedIn leads to guidance on how instructors can discuss LinkedIn and gender in the classroom. The article suggests instructors can modify or create assignments to address potential gender usage patterns.
