Senior Lecturer in Digital Communication, University of Sheffield

I am a Senior Lecturer in Digital Communication at the University of Sheffield, UK. My research asks how people - particularly those who are young, or who have certain vulnerabilities - use social media in their everyday lives. I have published my research in academic journals like New Media & Society and the Internet Policy Review, and have also written for publications like The Guardian, Wall Street Journal, and WIRED.
