Panayiota Tsatsou

I am a Lecturer in Media and Communication at Swansea University and in July 2013 I will take up a senior lectureship position in the Department of Media and Communication at the University of Leicester.

I received my PhD and Master of Science in Media and Communications from the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London. I completed my Master of Arts in Political Science at the University of Birmingham and graduated from the University of Athens with a BA Honours degree in Political Science.

I research the areas of information society, Internet studies, digital divides, new media policy and regulation, new media and civic participation, new media and children, and new media and gender. I am the author of Digital Divides in Europe: Culture, Politics and the Western-Southern Divide (2011, Berlin: Peter Lang). My journal and other publications aim to report on innovative and evidence-based solutions to issues arising in the information society. I recently completed an AHRC funded research project on digital inclusion and minority communities in Wales and is currently involved in a British Academy funded research on digital identity, literacy and economy.
