This presentation will discuss two creative “ Twitterature” projects that used Twitter to narrate Dostoevsky’s novels: @R odionTweets and @YakovGolyadkin. Originally planned as public outreach proj ects\, both had unexpected results in the realms of teaching and research. The presentation will discuss the nuts and bolts of doing these kinds of pr ojects\, what we learned\, the impact on a public engagement level and pecu liarities of Twitter as a platform for creative work\, what benefits Twitte rature brings to the literature classroom and how to use it in your teachin g\, and the surprising research questions that emerged from the projects.
The event is part of the Pixellating Project Showcase speaker series h osted by the UBC library Research Commons.
