Description of Current Work:
I am currently finishing two research projects. The first, “Living Digital” examines how new media has become a central part of contemporary teen culture, especially in terms of sexuality, dating, and romance. Along with Professor Natalie Boero I am also writing up findings from a study entitled “No Wannarexics Allowed” looking at 15 pro-anorexia online discussion groups.
