Fanfiction and Pop Culture with Jessica Doble

Jessica Doble, a PhD candidate in English at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, uses social media to reach communities.

Jessica’s research examines online communities, fandom, and popular culture media. In our chat, we talk about the politics around True Blood (HBO 2008-2014) and The Bold Type (Freeform 2017-present).

Jessica talks about why she likes Instagram: “It doesn’t feel like posting into the void.” And, we chat about Tumblr, Twitter, and her favorite folklore hashtags.

Jessica is my friend, in real life. I’m excited to share her with you today because she’s doing cool in-the-moment research (we talk about an episode that hadn’t premiered yet).

And, she uses social media in a variety of ways. Having a curated feed and favorite hashtags to find community, is important to enjoying your social media life. Jessica knows that. Then, hear about how Jessica is managing social media for an academic journal.
