 . Stefanie Duguay on Personal but not Private: Queer women\, sexuality\, a
 nd identity modulation on digital platforms (virtual book launch)\n\nEvent
  description: Privacy has become a pressing concern for many users of digi
 tal platforms who fear legal or social liability for sharing personal deta
 ils online. Yet for queer women and others\, an emphasis on privacy fails 
 to reflect the creativity and struggles of everyday people seeking to repr
 esent themselves and form meaningful connections through social media.\n\n
 Personal but Not Private explores how queer women share and maintain their
  identities through digital technologies despite overlapping technological
 \, social\, economic\, and political concerns. Focusing on representations
  of sexual identity through Tinder\, Instagram\, and Vine\, this volume un
 covers how queer women are continuously engaging in identity modulation\, 
 or the process through which people and platforms adjust or modify persona
 l information\, to form relationships\, increase their social and economic
  participation\, and counter intersecting forms of oppression. While queer
  women's representations of sexual identity give rise to publics and count
 erpublics through intimate and collective self-representation\, platform-s
 pecific elements like design and governance place limitations on queer wom
 en's agency and often make them targets of censorship\, harassment\, and d
 iscrimination. This book also considers how identity modulation can be app
 lied to a range of people negotiating digital contexts and promotes tangib
 le changes to digital platforms and their broader social\, economic\, and 
 political structures to empower individuals and their personal sharing on 
 social media.Bringing together personal interviews and empirical research\
 , Personal but Not Private offers a new lens for examining digitally media
 ted identities and highlights how platforms act as complicated sites of tr
 ansformation.\n\nSpeaker bio: Stefanie Duguay is an Assistant Professor in
  the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University in Tiohti
 à:ke/Montreal\, Canada. She is a Concordia University Research Chair and D
 irector of the Digital Intimacy\, Gender and Sexuality (DIGS) Lab where he
 r research focuses on the intersection of digital technologies and media w
 ith representations and practices pertaining to intimate life\, relationsh
 ips\, gender\, and sexuality. This has involved studies of LGBTQ+ people’s
  social media participation\, dating apps\, platform appropriation and gov
 ernance\, discourses of automation and algorithmic neutrality\, and the ro
 le of platforms and mobile media in queer social landscapes. @DugStef\n\nT
