UCL’s Professor Jessica Ringrose shares her research on unsolicited sexual images on Snapchat, a social media platform which plays a central role in the lives of many teens. We discuss how this work uncovered high rates of non-consensual image sharing and led to the establishment of cyber flashing as a new criminal offence in the UK’s 2023 Online Safety Bill. We also explore how collaborating with young people, crime scientists, sex education charities, and policy makers, and the use of participatory arts-based methods, were key to uncovering children’s experiences of social media and achieving more equity and social justice in their lives. Jessica Ringrose is Professor of the Sociology of Gender and Education at UCL’s IOE. For the podcast transcript, details of our other podcasts and activities, visit http://tinyurl.com/mubmxu4n

Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 4: Sex, Drugs, the Internet and Juries Is it true that juries rarely convict defendants in rape cases and are more likely to convict ethnic minority defendants than White defendants? And why can’t jurors resist going home at night and googling the defendant or tweeting about the case – against the express instructions of the judge. This lecture reveals the truth behind a number of widely held beliefs about juries in this country and examines why the internet may now be the biggest threat to our jury system.

Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 2: Great 2 meet u IRL :-) Twitter and digital identity Is Twitter an ephemeral technology, consisting of mundane chat about people's personal lives? Or can a study of its use help us to understand how we express our identities on and offline? Can Twitter be used for professional or academic activity, and should we try to separate our public and private digital personae? This lecture will address such questions, with the aid of slides of 140 characters and live tweets from the audience at UCL and on the internet. Vintage Podcasts - Lunch Hour Lectures

The Legal and Political Theory Forum have assembled a panel of four experts from the fields of philosophy, social epistemology, international relations and journalism to share their thoughts about how recent advancements in technology have changed the way we consume media, and how to deal with some of the challenges to democratic discourse that these changes have produced. Through this discussion we hope to shed some light on the ways in which we can productively disagree in an era where truth seems to be increasingly subjective, and tailored to preference and dogma James Ball, Journalist (currently special correspondent at BuzzFeed UK.
