Strategy: Getting Started with Twitter

At the 2020 AFS Annual Meeting, folklorists Andrea Kitta and Virginia Siegel hosted a workshop that introduced attendees to the world of Twitter, the social media platform that has become the digital communications tool of choice for everyone from scholars to pop stars to, yes, high-profile politicians. In their presentation, which you can watch on the AFS YouTube channel, Kitta and Siegel walked attendees through the process of setting up a Twitter account and demonstrated how to best leverage the platform to gain visibility for projects, programs, and other relevant work. Here, we’ve provided a downloadable .pdf version of the workshop presentation.
