[Air-L] Snapchat for scholars

[Jon Michael Wargo]

As someone who studies youth writing with mobile media, I have always been interested in the ways young people write place WITH and THROUGH the Snapchat application. I wrote an empirical piece following one youth snapping to investigate the practice of narrative cartography. You can find the piece here:  https://www.academia.edu/12181247/Spatial_Stories_with_Nomadic_Narrators_Affect_Snapchat_and_Feeling_Embodiment_in_Youth_Mobile_Composing

I also want to encourage everyone to attend a #literacies Twitter chat a couple of colleagues and I are hosting on Thursday 9PM EST. We'll be talking literacies on the move and discussing applications like Snapchat!

Excited to follow this thread,
