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_Aff... 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!

I've become infatuated with Snapchat stories and have decided to share a research-related story on snapchat every day this week. Today's is about biometrics and the snapchat selfie lense. My snapchat user name is jilltxt. (Http://snapchat.com/add/jilltxt)
I would LOVE to know of other scholars using snapchat to do academic stuff!
Here's a short blogpost I wrote about how I think scholars could use snapchat - I hadn't actually shared any stories writing that lasts week so will no doubt learn more!! http://jilltxt.net/?p=4408
All best,
