ABSTRACT
In this point of departure, I discuss using an intersectional feminist lens to explore Twitter traffic around Donald Trump’s 2016 US election win in an MA module Sociology of Education. Next I reflect upon my experience of having the feminist content of my public Twitter account trolled during the election period. I argue Twitter provides a new mediated space for teaching and learning but feminist academics also face risks in the form of misogyny both online and off.
