research
My current research focuses on location based dating application use by women.
I work within media studies and political sociology.
Theoretically: I work with feminist theories, media studies, and affect theory.
Methodologically: I work with qualitative research approaches, platform studies, discourse analysis, semi-structured interviews, platform and auto-ethnography.
I lecture on the feminist media studies, platform studies, philosophy of media, and political sociology.
