Algorithmically-Mediated Motherhood

About

Spanning topics in sociology, communication, and human-computer interaction, my dissertation uses qualitative research methods to examine how algorithms are transforming the contemporary landscape of motherhood. 

I draw on in-depth interviews with newly postpartum mothers on Tik Tok to investigate how first-time mothers construct mothering identities, develop mothering practices, and build a sense of social connection and stability through their social media use.
