Tune in to bullsradio.org Friday at 3 PM EST to listen live!
Donna is an MA/MPH student working on degrees in medical anthropology and public health education at USF. She has a background in women’s and gender studies as well as anthropology. Her research interests include sexual health, rights, and education. Currently she is working on gaining approval for thesis research on the possible effects of fanfiction on adolescent sexual education and attitudes.
How does explicit fanfiction affect the sexual knowledge and practices of teenagers. Is fanfiction considered a source of information on sex for teenagers, and what responsibility do fanfiction authors have to provide accurate information? The goal of this research is not to demonize fanfiction, but simply to identify how it is included in sex education for adolescents.
