Roser Beneito-Montagut, PhD

I see myself mainly as a sociologist, especially engaging with media, communication and technology studies. I am a senior lecturer in the Cardiff School Social Sciences (UK) and a member of the research group CareNet at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). My current research focuses particularly on the topics of social connectedness and social media, digital later life, the digital ageing body and care in the networked society. I am interested in relations, emotions and affects. I have written about the socio-cultural and material dimensions of “being” and interacting online; emotions; methodological innovations in relation to the availability of digital data; and about digital later life and ageing.
