The 6th Annual Social Media Technology Conference & Workshop is a two-day intensive conference combining panel discussions, poster sessions and hands-on workshops designed to enlighten attendees about new scholarship, professional practices and pedagogical approaches to teaching. It will be held at Howard University on October 6-7, 2016. This year's theme - Social Media and Voices in the Margins - focuses on dissecting how power and difference force or provide an opportunity for social media to be used by those who may be considered marginalized in U.S. society or within other countries.
