Her research interest is in exploring how digital media shapes/interacts with political attitudes and behaviour, specifically investigating any gender differences in media consumption and attitudes. Through her research, she wants to further research frameworks for in-depth digital media analysis, as well as study the salience of top-down communicative strategies of political parties in shaping political attitudes and voting intention.
