As a big fan of sports Games, I spent the whole August with the Paris Olympics 2024. And I noticed that lots of female athletes gained more attention from people all over the world through social media platforms.
I am quite curious about the impact of social media in the storytelling of female athletes. So, I invited Dr Shashini Gamage to share her ideas about this topic.
Dr Shashini Gamage is Teaching Associate in Media and Communications at the School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne and also, she is a researcher specializing in participatory visual ethnographic methods in the study of the media, social fields, and power structures.
