Are there common traits that personify social media influencers? Karen Freberg, a professor at the University of Louisville, has researched this very question.

Karen shares the findings and implications on the latest episode of FIR on Higher Education.
We also speak about how she integrates social media into her classroom and leverages Instagram as a professor.
