Event recording
In this event, Jamie reflects on the major findings of the ESRC funded project, ‘Digital Intimacies: how queer men use their smartphones to negotiate their cultures of intimacy’.
Drawing on 43 interviews with queer men, the project team found that their interviewees used the different features of their smartphones in ways that made them feel in control of the parts of their intimate lives that made them feel most vulnerable.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, educators, policy makers and health care professionals.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined in-person or online.
