This talk brings together Dr Katrin Tiidenberg and Dr Emily van der Nagel to discuss their recent book 'Sex and Social Media' published under Emerald Publishing's influential 'Society Now' series. The book explores the nuances of modern sexual practices as they intertwine with, on, in, through, and despite social media. This accessible, entertaining, and thought-provoking text opens up discussions of community, identity, practice and platforms at the intersection of sex and digital technology.
