Social Media Content for Stephanie Strickland's "True North"
As with all Live Stream Traversals, the undergraduate researchers had notes from Grigar's research on hand to feed content into the social media conversations. They also took photographs, mixing in prepared research on the work and its criticism with observations, comments, and interactions with other participants. While Strickland performed her Traversal, Grigar moderated the live YouTube chat and later the Q&A session.
