description Gender and Digital Media: A Critical Companion offers an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the evolving relationship between gender and digital media. Covering topics such as queer and trans communities online, digital intimacy, feminist approaches to technology, gaming, fandom and fanfiction online, digital diaspora, genre, representation, and gendered hate in digital spaces, this textbook explores how gender is shaped and represented onscreen and online across intersections of identity, class, race, age, sexuality, and technology. Each chapter opens with a critical overview of a key theme by a leading expert, followed by a short essay from a graduate student that grounds these ideas in concrete, contemporary examples. This layered structure encourages critical thinking and connects theory to concrete cases and lived experience. Designed with pedagogy in mind, this book includes a range of tools and activities that support both independent and collaborative learning. Gender and Digital Media: A Critical Companion is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in gender studies, media studies, cultural studies, media sociology, arts and humanities, and the social sciences exploring human‑technology interactions and digital everyday life.
