YOUTH 2.0: CONNECTING, SHARING AND EMPOWERING?


Affordances, Uses and Risks of Social Media



March 20th – 22nd 2013, Antwerp, Belgium


We are pleased to announce the organisation of an international, 
multidisciplinary workshop on young people’s uses of social media in 
general and social network sites in particular.

Contributions from a wide range of theoretical and methodological 
perspectives and from diverse scientific fields are welcomed. Next to 
individual paper submissions, proposals for organized panel sessions 
will be taken into consideration.

This international event will address a number of relevant questions 
related to the use of social media by children, adolescents and young 
adults.

Keynote presentations and parallel sessions center around four main topics:
1. identity construction (e.g. self-disclosure, impression management, 
privacy),
2. social relations (e.g. social capital, social engagement, cyberbullying),
3. interests at stake (e.g. social media marketing, advergames, viral 
marketing),
4. supporting and empowering (e.g. media/digital literacy, online 
counseling, awareness raising, parental mediation).

For a more detailed overview of questions and issues that will be 
covered, check our website: http://www.ua.ac.be/youth2.0
