When struggling with recurring or long-term health issues in the digital age, some people use internet resources such as health-related Facebook-groups to acquire knowledge. In this regard, health-related Facebook-groups comprise key objects of orientation in a Danish language context and, consequently, also in the research conducted in this project.

More specifically, Ane Kathrine studies the everyday entanglements of health-related Facebook-group use. The objective of the project is to advance our understanding of the raison d’être of health-related Facebook-groups and to generate empirically grounded knowledge about the impacts of new media technologies on culture and society. Furthermore, the research has the methodological scope of developing more ethical and accurate research approaches for studying digital culture.
