Episode Synopsis

Send us a textDr Sarah MacIsaac, from the University of Edinburgh, shares her work on how social media use has impacted on the relationships and identities of adolescents in one school. We discuss the sense that the adolescents were under the constant gaze of their peers and the 'celebrification' that came with this.  We explore how teenagers can be negatively and positively impacted by this and whether they could look critically on their use of social media. You can find out more about Sarah's work here https://www.blogs.hss.ed.ac.uk/peresearch/.https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/sarah-macisaac.@SarahLMacIsaacTwitter: @emcurriculumContact: [email protected]: "Moodswing" by Podington BearFrom the Free Music ArchiveCC BY NCX: @emcurriculumMusic: "Moodswing" by Poddington BearFrom the Free Music ArchiveCC by NC
