Today we were delighted to welcome Teresa Davis from
the University of Sydney to give a research seminar titled ‘In the (double) Mirror Darkly: Narratives of
the healthy online self’. This co-authored research with
Ellese Ferdinands examined ‘healthy self' narratives presented by individuals
when posting images of health, such as food consumed and exercise on social
media.
The
seminar was attended by students from the MA Consumption, Culture and Marketing
as well as PhD students and lecturers from sociology, marketing and criminology
at Royal Holloway. Teresa's presentation generated interesting discussions about identity, social
media and the audience of the displayed digital healthy self.
Research
seminars are a great way to find out about current and recent research and we look forward to further research seminars
in the next academic year.
