- Double-weighted statement
- This book sheds new light on the way that digital technologies transform feminist and queer activism, across the themes of bodily autonomy, pornography, reproduction, and queer social life. It develops the theoretical concepts of networked feminism and biodigital vulnerability, and develops a sociotechnical understanding of digital technologies in relation to activism. It meets the criteria for double-weighting in that it is a longer form of output; it involves an extended piece of empirical research undertaken in both online and offline contexts, comprising of digital network mapping, participant observation and in-depth interviewing; and it employs extensive analysis of complex primary data.
