We're shining a spotlight on UCL PhD researcher Chiara Fehr, whose thought-provoking work explores the role of social media platforms like TikTok in shaping teenage girls' identities, values and experiences. Chiara shares insights from a group of teenage girls on everything from algorithmic bias to body image, consumer culture and the complexities of growing up online. In this fascinating interview, Chiara discusses how adults can better support young people at home and school through active listening, curiosity and open dialogue.
