In Australia and overseas, concern about ‘sexting’ among young people has been widespread, and discussions have tended to focus on the ‘risks’ and issues new technologies are seen to produce. This symposium presents the findings from six studies by researchers in Australia and England working across the fields of law, criminology, media, gender, and education. These researchers have adopted a variety of methods to try to better understand and unpack the issues around ‘sexting’. The symposium is intended to provide space for questions and discussion between researchers and stakeholders in this area, and thus to help inform wider public debates and responses to the issues around young people and ‘sexting’ in Australia.
