Professor Sonia Livingstone, “Thinking Like a Social Scientist: Online and offline risk – getting young people's experience of the internet into perspective”

Professor Livingstone's lecture will critically examine social science evidence regarding the risks children encounter online. This will be theorised in relation to the risk society, the sociology of childhood, and the diffusion and appropriation of new technologies in the home. The lecture will conclude by considering how research findings may be used to engage with policy debates nationally and internationally in relation to internet governance and child welfare.
