Girls & Digital Culture: Transnational Reflections





Registration now open





An international interdisciplinary conference hosted by the Centre for 
Culture, Media and Creative Industries and the Department of Digital 
Humanities, King’s College, London.



Dates: 13/14th September 2012

Location: King’s College London, Strand Campus



This conference seeks to bring together current research exploring the 
relationship between contemporary girlhood and digital culture, in a 
transnational frame.  Drawing on approaches from the arts, humanities 
and social sciences the conference will look at how contemporary 
transformations and transnational interconnections may be challenging 
existing social and cultural categories, power structures and global 
hegemonies. The conference will address the following questions:

• What are the key debates in current research on girls, young women and 
digital culture?

• How might a transnational lens raise new questions, and what new ideas 
does it make thinkable?

• Is digital culture global culture?

• How does the development of new digital technologies affects notions 
and experiences of girlhood?

• How are girls using new digital technologies?

• How do ideas and practices move across national borders?

• What effects do transnational interconnections have on girlhood and 
digital culture?



Speakers include:



Lisa Nakamura, University of Illinois

Shani Orgad, LSE

Jessica Ringrose, Institute of Education

Rupa Huq, Kingston University

Kalpana Wilson, SOAS

Simidele Dosekun, King’s College London
