Hi there! Welcome to the About Me page.
My name is Carla West and I am a second year, BA English Language and Linguistics student at The University of Reading.
One of my modules that I am undertaking is called ‘Language and New Media’. Each week, I shall be posting a blog entry that will discuss a range of topics that are explored in lectures and how they link to my personal experiences of digital media use.
Below you can find the topics of the blogs entries that shall be posted over the next couple of months.
- The multilingual internet
- Information
- Reading and writing online
- Online language and social interaction
- Multimodality and mobility
- Social networking: tribalism, toxicity and trolling
- Attention and the attention economy
- Privacy, surveillance and dark patterns
Please comment on any blog entries and feel free to share your input or ask questions on any posts.
