Social Media and mental health with Lauren Doyle

In this episode, Matthew talks to Lauren Doyle - an Academic Tutor and a PhD Research Student at the University of Sunderland. Lauren teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate Criminology and Sociology programmes, while dabbling in undergraduate Health and Social Care. Lauren's ongoing research and further research interests involve looking at the impact of social media on a person’s relationship with their body, nutrition and online diet culture. This incorporates elements of the rising so-called ‘influencer culture’ in the online space and the social harms that may be associated with this.
