Adrienne Evans

Adrienne Evans (she/her) is Professor of Gender and Culture in the Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University, UK. Her research focuses on accounts of intimacy, and she is interested in creating new ways of thinking about notions of the good life, wellbeing and positivity through digital technology in relation to the vulnerabilities these concepts engender, by seeking to stimulate more inclusive, equitable and feminist-inspired ways of being-in-the-world. Her current work is interested in how digital positivity cultures create new intimate relations that shape how we navigate the world, and how we can do positivity otherwise. She is co-author with Sarah Riley of Technologies of Sexiness (2014) and Digital Feeling (2023) and co-author with Sarah Riley and Martine Robson of Postfeminism and Health (2018) and Postfeminism and Body Image (2022). She co-founded with Jessica Ringrose the AHRC network Postdigital Intimacies and the Networked Public-Private.
