- eGirls, eCitizens
eGirls, eCitizens is edited by Jane Bailey and Valerie Steeves. It reframes topics such as online child pornography, online luring, cyberbullying and non-consensual disclosure of intimate images in ways that make space for more equitable and empathetic responses, rather than polarized utopic/dystopic debate. The collection analyzes the equality, privacy and gender performativity implications of the digital environment and its impacts on girls’ online participation; assesses the ways in which stakeholders construct girls in theoretical, policy and educational discourses; and suggests future approaches and best practices that are premised on girls’ own understandings of their needs and aspirations in an increasingly digitized society.
