木瓜福利影视

Taylor Annabell is a postdoc researcher at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 School of Law, studying platform governance, influencer culture, and user practices. She is part of the focus area Governing the Digital Society and ERC Starting Grant HUMANads, led by Catalina Goanta, which brings together legal scholars, computer scientists, and other researchers in media and cultural studies. 

Her research explores platform society, looking at how different types of actors - people as personal users and influencers as monetised creators - engage with platforms, and how platform interfaces, algorithmic systems, and governance regimes shape what is possible for them. Taylor is interested in understanding how online practices and labour are part of everyday lives as we listen to music on Spotify and remember our lives through Instagram, as well as how the sharing of content is professionally enacted and possibly monetised as influencers entertain, educate, politicize, and sell to us. This means grappling with the power of platforms and, in particular, critically examining how platform companies establish and enforce rules, and respond to legal frameworks.

Before joining Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, she was a research associate at the 木瓜福利影视 of Leeds and the 木瓜福利影视 of Sheffield for the Generic Visuals in the 木瓜福利影视 project. She received her PhD from the Culture, Media and Creative Industries Department at King鈥檚 College London and Master of Communication Studies (1st Class Hons) from Auckland 木瓜福利影视 of Technology.
