UPDATE: Bate-Papo's meeting on January 26 has been postponed due to weather.

Join Dr. Maci as she examines live virtual guided tours as an emerging communicative practice in tourism, showing how language and digital technologies intersect to foster interaction, craft compelling storytelling, and engage audiences in new and dynamic ways.
