Digital homosociality and networked popular misogyny: researching the intra-actions of teen masculinity and online affordances
Lead Research Organisation:
King's College London
Department Name: Digital Humanities
Abstract
Discourses of networked popular misogyny are entangled with masculinity performance and the
digital platforms which young people use to conduct their social lives (Boyle & Rathnayake, 2019;
Banet-Weiser, 2018). Understanding how networked popular misogyny intra-acts with teen masculinity and homosociality is vital for the development of relevant and impactful digital sex and
relationships education which can challenge gender inequalities. This research will address this by
locating the behaviours and motivations of networked popular misogyny amongst teens then using
findings to develop educational recommendations with sex and relationships education (SRE)
