I am currently enrolled as PhD student at University of Sussex, where I am exploring critical thinking of young people in the case of YouTube. In my research, I am specifically looking at YouTube influencers, current trends for social media and YouTube, participatory culture, audiences and fandom, the theory of critical thinking, ethical and practical problems in a research that deals with children and young people, participatory and digital methods, virtual ethnography and use of multimodal analysis. Part of my research is to watch YouTube content and follow all the YouTube 'drama'. I am also a Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL) associate.
I have been teaching at Middlesex University (HPA) since September 2020 and supervising final year media and journalism students and examining dissertation and creative projects since 2019. The dissertations and creative projects often relate to social media and digital media production.
