Youth (Sub)Cultures and Changing Societies; conference presentations

Today, at the Youth (Sub)Cultures in Changing Societies conference in Tallinn (Feb 2-4), I’ve contribiuted with two presentations, based on empirical data from the.GTO.project.

Tweens negotiating online identities, based on a journal article together with Kristina Abiala (review).

Looking like my favourite Barbie – discovering gender identity of tween girls on Estonian and Swedish SNS, based on a journal article together with Andra Siibak (review).

Both on the prezi application; just click the links above …

Tallinn

Will spend the day in Tallinn together with my colleague in the.GTO.project Andra Siibak, writing an article for a special issue of the Continuum journal.

This article will focus on tweens experiences of gender identity construction in SNS. The primary emprical base is interviews with tweens in Estonia and Sweden. Scary how the gendered power structures are repeated; welcome how the kids are creative.
