Profile

I am a university teacher in Data Science at the Information School following the completion of my PhD at the University of 葫芦影业 in 2022. My PhD, 鈥淧alestinian Solidarity on Social Media: The Distribution of Images of Occupation on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram by Advocacy Organisations鈥 was an investigation into the ways in which activists shared images and how social media users responded. I currently teach on a range of modules on the Msc Data Science programme, as well as contributing to the undergraduate module Digital Media and Society.

Research interests

My research interests are around the use of digital media for activism and social movements. I am especially interested in the ways that social media can be used for visual communication as part of activist strategies. I use mixed-methods in my research, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis of digital media.
