About
My current research explores the relationships between young people’s virtual spaces and the social actors participating in their production and use. I focus in particular on websites for children and teenagers aged 8-14, focusing on virtual spaces that provide spaces for social interaction.
A central interest of this research is to explore the ways in which adult producers, child users and virtual spaces come to be constituted through the socio-material processes of the design, development, production, distribution and use of the media product. Thus how each constitutes and is constituted through and within these processes, with a strong emphasis on the emergent spatial and temporal dimensions of these processes.
