Over the past 30 years cultures of intimacy have been transformed by the internet and its related technologies. This book series will provide a platform for cutting edge Digital Intimacies scholarship from both established and emerging academics. Currently, the field skews towards researching social media platforms and dating apps often in relation to gender, sexuality, and kinship in the Global North. This series will continue to provide a platform for this vital work but will also consciously attend to under explored aspects of digital intimacies – e.g. questions of class, race and ethnicity, disability, the post-human, sexual health, migration, conflict, the Global South – as well as underexplored aspects of the technologies that produce them – e.g. AI and intimacy, the datafication of intimacy, the political economy of digital intimacies, media representations of digital intimacies, gaming and intimacy. It will publish work from a range of disciplines from media & cultural studies and sociology to geography, politics, public health, and visual cultures. It will publish monographs and edited collections.

Series Editors: Kath Albury, Jamie Hakim, John Mercer, and Cosimo Marco Scarcelli.
