<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">This paper locates media fandom and fan cultures on the microblogging and social networking platform Tumblr as a site at which meanings of feminism are
<i>para</i>textually constructed, negotiated, and contested. The circulation and paratextual (re)framing of popular cultural texts within digital fan communities offer interpretative frameworks for young people to
<i>make feminist meaning</i> of texts, as well as <i>make meaning of feminism </i>
itself in ways that call for a (re-)evaluation of the complex relationship between popular media culture, media reception, and feminist identity development. This research draws upon 342 responses to an in-depth narrative survey exploring young people’s engagements
with feminism, featuring participants from 39 countries. In doing so, this paper offers an introduction to several key themes of my recent monograph,
<i>Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr</i> (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">Dr Briony Hannell is the author of
<i>Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr </i>(Bloomsbury Academic, 2024), and is in the final months of her post as a University Teacher in Sociology at the University of Sheffield in the UK. In July, she will be joining the University
of Manchester as a Lecturer in Digital Sociology. Her research examines young people’s engagements with feminisms, and social justice more broadly, in and through digital cultures. Her research interests centre intersectional feminist theory, digital identities
and belonging, popular (digital) media cultures, and digital in/equalities. She has published in
<i>Transformative Works & Cultures</i>, <i>Girlhood Studies, Celebrity Studies, </i>
and <i>Participations, </i>and has contributed to <i>The International Encyclopedia of Gender, Media, and</i>
