Like many #academics, I'm heading over to Mastodon. You can follow me there at @profshumate@fediscience.org. If any of my peeps are also heading to Mastodon too, shoot me a line and let me know.

The pandemic exacerbated societal inequalities, putting a strain on social services. In a new working paper, @ProfShumate and her colleagues examine care networks and compare performance before and after the emergence of COVID-19. #WorkingPaperWednesday spr.ly/6015PHZAS

Almost all networks face “crossroads moments.” @ProfShumate & Katherine R. Cooper explain “the prior decisions that they make influence their options and, by extension, their outcomes.” Read on for more on how networks can negotiate these moments well. ssir.org/articles/entry/how_…

I always enjoy talking with @swilley_b about #NetworksforSocialImpact. He is now leading My Brother's Keeper in Chicago and demonstrating his collaborative leadership skills. He's a #socialimpact leader to watch.

Every #network for #socialimpact will face a crossroads moment. the network will either adapt or disband. This article, which I co-authored with @katercooper, describes common crossroads moments (e.g., losing major funding) and what networks can do now to prepare to face them.

“No network serious about social impact should expect to achieve its goals without overcoming obstacles.”@ProfShumate (@NNSI_NU) & Katherine R. Cooper (@CMNDePaul) examine how social impact networks can navigate a crisis and emerge stronger than before. ssir.org/articles/entry/how_…

My students challenged me to make a 5-levels-of-difficulty-video for #NetworksforSocialImpact. The first level is explaining my book to my now 6th grader. My favorite part is around 1:02 when I ask him what he knows about what I do for a living. His answer was, "Not much." 🤣🤣
