Originally trained as a sociologist, Zoetanya draws from an interdisciplinary lens to address the relationships between new technologies and social life, particularly as related to everyday political and social life. Currently, these interests are based around four themes: social media, technologies and platform politics; the intersections between dataveillance, privacy and sharing culture; innovation and emerging technologies; and the impact of digital media on changing skill sets and digital literacies.
Zoetanya has published in leading media journals such as New Media and Society, Social Media + Society, and the International Journal of Communication. Zoetanya also currently serves on the programme committee for the international conference on Social Media and Society, and is on the editorial board for Digital Culture and Education.
