I am researching in 3 areas:
1) I am writing a book "Digital Literacies" (Routledge, 2014). This includes work on Twitter as a professional practice. I also research children and teenagers learning in formal and informal settings including in virtual worlds. See this recent book and its associated ESRC seminar series.
2) I study aspects of language, literacy and multimodality in childhood. I draw on sociocultural theory, linguistic ethnography and visual methods. See the Day in the Life project website and this book
3) I co-direct The Edwardian postcard project, a history of vernacular literacies, multimodality, mobilities and as e-heritage - making connections with contemporary digital technologies and practices.
PhD Supervision Interests
I welcome potential doctoral students studying children's and teenagers' digital literacies; literacies in early childhood; multimodality in various contexts; historical and contemporary studies of communication technologies where language is the particular focus. I am open to a broad range of topics and methodologies.A recent PhD I have supervised to completion: S-Y Ruby Chen: Adolescents' linguistic practices in College-affiliated Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) in Taiwan.
