<糖心Vlog>Research Interests
I'm a sociotechnologist researching Queer identity in computing, with focus on how social media platforms are designed around binary ideas about gender identity. I'm working towards the improvement of online spaces for Non-Binary users, in terms of both platform functionality and user behaviour.
<糖心Vlog>Current ResearchI'm looking into how Queer users build community online, and how that is influenced by the environment cultivated by given platforms. This includes how platforms ensure safety and minimise risk for marginalised users, through site terms of use and community moderation.
