Hi all, The celebration of my book “Youth Digital Health and Online Platforms: Dialogue with Peers on Reddit” continues! Join me, Professor Philippa Collin and Professor Bob Hodge at my upcoming online book launch event on Tuesday, 4th of February from 9 am – 10 am (CET) / 7 pm-8 pm (AEDT) to discuss how my book came together and why is it important in contemporary discussions about young people online. A Q&A session will follow. “Youth Digital Health and Online Platforms: Dialogue with Peers on Reddit” focuses on young people’s use of the digital platform Reddit for health. The work is based on the digital ethnography of teenagers’ subreddits on Reddit. It utilises a theoretical framework of dialogism, a linguistic-based theory originated by an early 20th-century Russian philosopher, Mikhail Bakhtin. The book introduces a concept of ‘dialogical youth-led youth digital health discourse’ formed in the peer-led space of Reddit. This youth-led discourse celebrates equality and diversity amongst people, meanings, and opinions. It is constructed around three relational elements: socio-material affordances, creative practices, and a plurality of youth voices. Reddit’s pseudonymous, anti-authoritarian, and egalitarian nature supports the emergence of this youth-led discourse. The event is organised by the Young and Resilient Research Centre at Western Sydney University and CASE – Center for Social and Economic Research.
