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.
