Professor Rebekah Willett’s research explores children’s media cultures, focusing on issues of gender, play, literacy and learning. Aligning with the sociology of childhood, Rebekah analyses how media are experienced differently in different childhoods. She connects her work with educational research that views children’s literacies as involving "webs of meaning" that are formed within and through different contexts, purposes and discursive practices.
