"Digital practices, Gender, and Intimacy in Teens’ everyday life (Di.G.I.T)"
“Di.G.I.T” aims to explore how Italian teenagers explore and experiment with intimacy and their gender identities, develop interpersonal relationships and community connections and access identity-specific resources and services from the relative safety of anonymity. The main objective is to analyse how Italian teens (re)define their understanding of gender and intimacy by engaging with digital media and incorporating it into their daily lives.
The project has 4 main objectives:
-
- Producing an important contribution to the field of gender and media studies in terms of knowledge about digital media, young people, gender identities and intimacy;
- Promoting relevant transformative cultural changes by providing accessible instruments to educators and policymakers;
- Promoting teens’ critical literacy and gender awareness, helping them to better understand and question the logic of platforms and digital media;
- Consolidating and formalising a national research group that can strengthen international collaboration.

Join us to explore how young people are redefining gender and intimacy through digital media.
