Abstract: Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes1. Interviews with teenage feminist bloggers are part of an ethnographic research project exploring the practices of eight US-based feminist girl bloggers conducted by Keller (see Keller forthcoming Citation2015). Interviews with participants in high school feminist clubs were conducted by Ringrose as part of a research project entitled ‘Feminism in Schools: Mapping Impact in Practice’ funded by Cardiff University. The research involved semi-structured focus group interviews and audio and visually recorded workshops with 45 young people, as well as individual interviews with teachers from six secondary schools in England and Wales. This interview is with five teen girls attending a mixed, fee-paying, performing arts school in central London.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJessalynn KellerJessalynn Keller is a lecturer in New Media at Middlesex University, London, UK.
