Teens and the New Media @ Home

Dedicated to understanding the concerns of low-income adolescents and the mediated environment in which they live, this project focuses on young people and their families, considering how they envision the relationship between new media technologies and success or empowerment. It also explores what happens when young people from underprivileged backgrounds encounter beliefs, worldviews, experiences, or perspectives on the Internet that differ from their own.
