Media technologies have enabled the creation and sharing of explicit imagery between teenagers but parents, politicians and campaigners are worried about the attendant risks for young people, both in the present and for their futures, as kids seemingly surrender privacy in favour of participating in the new economies of self-representation. This seminar draws on research into the lived experiences of young people, exploring their understandings of identity, intimacy, body image, sex and desire to ask what are the challenges for media, and sex, education in the age of the selfie, sexting and self-revelation. Speakers: Kath Albury (University of New South Wales) Feona Attwood (University of Middlesex) Clare Bale (Clare Bale Consultancy Ltd) Max Morris (University of Durham) To register please email [log in to unmask] For enquiries please contact [log in to unmask] Series organising contacts are: Sally Hines, Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, University of Leeds: [log in to unmask] and Surya Monro, Centre for Research in Social Sciences, University of Huddersfield: [log in to unmask] The other Universities belonging to the Network are Durham, Lancaster, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam, Sunderland and York. http://sexgennorthernnetwork.wordpress.com/ Please circulate widely.
