About me
My name is Malene Charlotte Larsen and I’m a PhD student at Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University (AAU). Physically, I’m located in e-Learning Lab.
My PhD project is on young people’s use of social networking sites and online identity construction. The sites that I focus on are e.g. Arto, LunarStorm, MySpace, Facebook, NationX, Habbo, and Netstationen.
I have a master in Media and Communications Studies from Aalborg University (AAU). My thesis was on young people’s use of the most popular social network site in Denmark, Arto.dk. Based on that I give lectures on young people’s use of www.arto.dk and internet communication in general. See more here.
In my PhD project I am working together with The Danish Media Council for Children and Young People in order to provide information to adults who are worried about young people’s use of the internet and especially social networking sites.
