Paul Emerson Teusner

I am a recent PhD graduate from the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University in Melbourne. I am keen to investigate how young people use digital devices and social software to construct social, gender, religious and cultural identities. This involves questions regarding how networked individualism is changing religion in the public sphere; how public chatter/the changing private-public divide is shaping social identities; how mobile devices change the aesthetic experience of and interaction with religious text, and; how technology is shaping the spaces where young people experience "family", "work", "friends" and interact with these terms.
