💥Can we still talk about identity performance on social media?💥 Hannah Ditchfield and I say yes! We explored #TikTok content about #hereditarycancer and found 3 types of identity work 👇. Part of @leverhulme.ac.uk - funded Previvorship (bit.ly/3MpCAAs), out in Social Media+Society: shorturl.at/4BV23

We are working hard to prepare our presentation for the @lynchsyndromeuk.bsky.social Lynch Syndrome UK annual conference! Hannah Ditchfield and I will share findings from our Previvorship project, reflecting on how social media influence what we learn about #lynchsyndrome and #hereditarycancer.

Those home vibes... #liguria

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)

As part of our project Previvorship, we studied posts from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter & found that top images of hereditary cancer reinforce racialised and gendered views of health, women & bodies. Paper open access in SHI 👇
