Join @stefaniavicari.bsky.social and Hannah Ditchfield in this podcast where they discuss how research into social media is reshaping what we know about hereditary cancer, advocacy, and the very word previvor. media.leverhulme.ac.uk/podcast/prev...

Every story matters – but how we share it shapes what others understand. From quiet awareness to full advocacy, this episode explores the power and the pitfalls of telling your story as a previvor. www.positivegenepodcast.com

New paper alert with @pauljreilly.bsky.social. We asked where the semi-periphery & Global South are in digital activism research. We found that we largely study "Northern Visibilities": groups and movements based in Global North countries and platforms popular within them. doi.org/10.1177/2056...

Last week we presented at #AoIR2024, hosted by our very own @sheffielduni.bsky.social! Hannah Ditchfield talked about the different types of identity that are performed in 'top’ TikTok content about #brca and #lynchsyndrome. This is part of our work with Previvorship (bit.ly/3MpCAAs)
