(1) Hi everyone! I’m excited to be presenting at the Pop Culture and Pedagogy Conference on Twitter this afternoon. Welcome to my presentation – “Pop Culture in/as Arts-Based Writing Pedagogy.” #POPC1
First of all, I’m Dr. Kristin LaFollette. I’m an Assistant Professor in the English department at the University of Southern Indiana, and I serve as the developmental writing specialist. My research is focused on arts-based approaches to scholarship and pedagogy! #POPC1
While my doctorate is in rhetoric and writing studies, I have a background in creative writing (and I am a visual artist and a photographer). As a doctoral student, I struggled to reconcile my identities as a writer and an artist and a scholar. #POPC1
["Beyond the Bio: Seeking out a New Way to Connect Generations": Start Thread] #POPC1
1/17 As a new instructor in first-year composition, I was excited last spring to design my English 2 syllabus around a theme of my own choosing. Eng 2 focuses on research and argument and I wanted a topic the students could be engaged with the entire semester. #POPC1
2/17 Being at an engineering-focused university, I naturally felt that my class would embrace the topic of “space exploration.” While my interest lies in the rhetoric surrounding space and the technological future, the class was less than enthusiastic at the outset. #POPC1
1/13 Walkers Ate My Science Homework: A First Year Student Seminar Course on Science and “The Walking Dead”: Start Thread #POPC1 
2/13 I’m Kris Larsen, an astronomy professor with 30 years at Central Connecticut State University. I have taught freshman seminars for over 20 years. One of my faves used The Walking Dead as its central theme. #POPC1
3/13 My first year student science seminar for nonscience majors challenged students to think critically about controversial topics, debate using scientific terminology, and come to an understanding that science is everywhere. #POPC1
1/91 I’m about to post a LONG series of tweets for The Popular Culture and Pedagogy Conference. The conference is being conducted entirely on Twitter. #POPC1
2/91 The title of my presentation is “Pop Cultural Literacy”. This is not an academic paper broken into a series of Tweets. #POPC1
3/91 Instead, this is a series of Tweets that, taken together, may vaguely resemble a conference paper. I won’t be carefully presenting an argument for a thesis. Instead I’ll be riffing on a series of related themes.#POPC1

Teaching Research Methods Through Popular Culture: Start Thread #POPC1 #AcademicChatter
Hello! My name is Julia Largent and I’m an Asst. Professor of Communication at @Mac_College in McPherson, Kan. (SLAC, about 750 students). This is my third year at MC where I teach the journalism & media sides of communication as well as advise the student media. #POPC1
@Mac_College My research focuses on #fanstudies & documentaries—both separately & where they collide. When I started at MC they (excitedly) asked me to create an intro to popular culture course to be offered that spring. I very quickly agreed as I was excited to teach within my field. #POPC1
