Description
Accessible and engaging, the book is ideal for scholars and students interested in digital media, digital activism, health activism and digital health, as well as areas of media and communication and sociology
This book looks at the complex scenario of platforms, practices, and content of contemporary digital communication to map and interpret emerging forms of digitally enhanced health activism

While drawing upon digital media studies and the sociology of health and illness, the book offers theoretical and methodological insights from a decade of empirical research of digital uses that span from digital health advocacy to illness-focused social media practices
