Broadly, my PhD research focuses on youth culture and teenage life in post-conflict Belfast. I am interested in discourses of intergenerational trauma and community spaces and how these are seen as points of relation in a larger communal making-sense of a growing youth mental health crisis in a West Belfast neighbourhood. My research contributed to new understandings about how vernaculars of political violence shift according to new and ever-expanding pressures and priorities in community life and cultural cultivation.
Prior to joining Stanford, I received a first-class honors degree in Global Health and Social Medicine from King’s College London. I also received a Master of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology from the Graduate Institute Geneva. Before attending university, I worked for four years in various health advocacy and youth work roles, including in South Africa and Scotland. -

Andreas Hepp
Affiliate, Communication
Visiting Scholar - Short Term, CommunicationBioBesides being a visiting fellow at Stanford University, Communication Department, I am a professor of media and communications, Head of ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research, University of Bremen, Germany, and spokesperson of the Research Unit 5656 “Communicative AI: The Automation of Societal Communication”.
My research and my teaching focuses on how media change and transformations in the way we communicate are interrelated with refigurations within culture and society. To adequately define this scenario, I harness the terminology of deep mediatization.
Deep mediatization research connects to a range of other areas such as the role algorithms play in contemporary society, data and the datafication of communication, the influence of pioneers and pioneer communities on media-related developments, the emergence of new kinds of publics at the local, national and transnational level, the increasing role automation and communicative AI play in everyday communications, and the everyday use and appropriation of media by different media generations.
