“…Combining a semi-structured interview with the social media tour provides a holistic view of participants' perspectives of their cultural contexts (Campos-Holland et al, 2016), while also giving researchers access to significant material expressions of master and alternative narratives (e.g., social media posts) in each participant's life. This allows a deeper understanding of how…”

Gender and sexuality are contentious political issues in the US, with a resurgence of traditional master narratives for gender following decades of advances for gender equality. To understand how today’s LGBTQ+ youth navigate this narrative landscape in a polymedia context, we conducted social media tour interviews with 20 LGBTQ+ adolescents (aged 16–19), recording audiovisual data as they guided us through important posts on their top three public social media platforms. Through reflexive thematic analysis, we found that our participants were engaging with both longstanding master narratives (e.g., traditional gender roles) and contemporary alternative narratives (e.g., gender as non-binary) using three key navigational strategies for engaging with narratives on social media platforms: seeking and sharing information, creating queer community, and making choices about visibility and permanence. The meaning and purpose of these strategies for participants, both individually and collectively, could not be fully understood apart from three key navigational contexts: the traditional gender narrative, white liberal community context, and platform affordances. Our results demonstrate that narrative engagement for contemporary LGBTQ+ adolescents is deeply influenced by personal polymedia environments, identity intersections, and power structures shaping possibilities for individual identity expression and collective cultural transformation.

“…In 2013, we explored how boys and girls of color experienced peer culture and adult authority within and across sociospatial environments (Campos-Holland, Dinsmore, et al, 2016). We combined the "doing research with children" (Greig, Taylor, & Mackay, 2007) and "children's geographies" (Bartos, 2012) methodological approaches, designing a semistructured interview that engaged youth in a participant-driven exploration of their sociospatial environments, including a participant-driven neighborhood tour on Google Maps.…”

“…Children's geographies can expose the significance of spatial discourses in youth's everyday lives (Holloway & Valentine, 2005). For instance, the social construction of childhood and adolescence varies across racialized-spatial discourses, such as the reading of young Black or Brown bodies as a "threat" in White spaces, ultimately determining the rights, privileges, and expectations, or lack thereof, involved in a racialized childhood and adolescence (Brunson & Miller, 2006b;Campos-Holland, 2017;Campos-Holland, Dinsmore, et al, 2016;Holloway & Valentine, 2005). Using these theoretical foundations, we engaged youth in a participant-driven sociospatial exploration.…”

“…To do so, we conceptually draw from the "new" sociology of childhood, technologies of the self, children's geographies, and critical race theory (Campos-Holland, 2017;Corsaro, 2017;Delgado & Stefancic, 2013;Holloway & Valentine, 2005;Pini, 2004). Methodologically, we use a sociospatial qualitative approach, which aims to capture youth's meaning-making processes and lived experiences within and across spaces (Campos-Holland, Dinsmore, & Kelekay, 2016). More precisely, 152 nondelinquent boys and girls, 9-17 years old, of African-American, Latina/Latino, Jamaican-American, Nigerian/Saint Lucian, and multiracial/ethnic descent, at four community youth centers, participated in semistructured interviews about their sociospatial environments.…”

Unjustified: Youth of Color Navigating Police Presence Across Sociospatial Environments

Hyper-surveillance in marginalized communities places Brown and Black boys at a high risk of involuntary police contact. Prior research, however, has primarily focused on the experiences of youth already labeled delinquent, and has only just begun to explore girls’ lived experiences and differentially surveilled spaces. The current study engages a sociospatial qualitative approach to explore how 84 nondelinquent boys and girls of color experience police presence across a racially/ethnically and socioeconomically segregated metropolitan area in the Northeast region of the United States. Specifically, 41 boys and 43 girls, ages 9–17, of African-American, Latina/Latino, Jamaican-American, Nigerian/Saint Lucian, and multiracial/ethnic descent, participated in semistructured interviews at four community youth centers. The results suggest that nondelinquent youth of color experience police presence in gendered and racialized ways in public spaces, and that such experiences vary across racially/ethnically and socioeconomically segregated cities and suburbs.

In the digital age of polymedia (Madianou & Miller, 2012), a multitude of social media platforms provide youth with an endless menu of options, cultural expressions, imagery, metaphors, models, and narratives to tell the world (and themselves) who they are as they develop an autobiographical self (McAdams, 2013). To understand autobiographical selfdevelopment in the context of self-presentations on multiple platforms, we analyzed the structure and content of undergraduate college students' (N = 29, 17 = Female, 12 = Male, M age = 20) storytelling as they guided researchers on a tour of their three most frequently used social media platforms. Whole-person narrative analysis of audiovisual recordings of the social media tours revealed a variety of ways that young people construct themselves as real and recognizable in the context of master narratives surrounding authenticity and branding on social media (Davis, 2014;Marwick, 2013;Marwick & boyd, 2011). We present our insights into the process of constructing the autobiographical self as an authentic brand on social media through excerpts of stories youth tell about themselves and their experiences primarily on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
