Pandemic and Beyond Episode 20: Sexual and Gendered Risks
Description
As ‘Online Harms’ have become a buzz word, Dr Shruti Raghuraman (University of Exeter) explores some of the lived experience behind the topic with Dr Tanya Horeck (Anglia Ruskin University), Dr Jessica Ringrose (UCL) and Amelia Jenkinson (School of Sexuality Education). They discuss the ways in which online risks and harms during lockdown were gendered in affecting disproportionately girls and LGBTQ+ adolescents at a time when their screen time had significantly increased. Topics cover Snapchat, privacy settings, and what longer-term solutions parents and schools can adopt to educate young people about consent and create open dialogues.
