Twitter 201: Social Movements

The revolution will not be televised, but it will be tweeted. Join librarians Jaleh Fazelian and Makiba Foster for a brief discussion on Twitter’s instrumental role as an unlikely galvanizing tool in various national and global movements. From Iran to Wall Street, from Tunisia to Egypt, Twitter was and is a part of these recent revolutions. This discussion aims to help participants understand the power of the 140 character tweet.
