Natasha Whiteman

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Media, Communication and Sociology at the University of Leicester. My research examines the methods and ethics of online research, the ethics of contemporary media audiences, and the practices of online fan communities. I am the author of Undoing Ethics: Rethinking practice in online research (2012, New York: Springer). My other recent publications on ethics include:
