DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event. Please register on Eventbrite to receiv
 e a Zoom link.\n\n\n	\n		Digital literacy education is often proposed as a pa
 nacea for a range of everyday sexual health and wellbeing concerns - from 
 'safe sexting' and dating app use\, to consent education. Sexual health wo
 rkforces\, too\, are increasingly required to adopt data-driven digital te
 chnologies and practices (sometimes referred to as eHealth or mHealth) to 
 undertake core activities such as clinical service provision\, health prom
 otion\, education and outreach\, reporting and quality assurance. This pre
 sentation draws on preliminary findings of sociotechnical research investi
 gating the intersection of sexual health\, digital literacy\, and data lit
 eracy. It uses interviews with sexual health researchers and practitioners
 \, and the findings of a narrative literature review\, to identify current
  limitations in sexual health research addressing “digital literacy for se
 xual health.” Current 'digital health literacy' discourse tends to frame l
 iteracy in terms of individual deficit - and exclude the digital and data 
 literacies of health workforces from consideration. I propose alternative 
 (and less morally loaded) frameworks of digital and data capability for se
 xual health\, building on recent participatory research with members of th
 e not-for-profit workforce. This 'capabilities approach' attends to the co
 mplexities of digital health practice\, while remaining mindful of the soc
 ial and political factors that are critical to sexual health and wellbeing
 . \n	\n\n	\n		About the speaker: Kath Albury is an Australian Research Council
  Future Fellow\, leading the 'Digital and data capabilities for sexual hea
 lth ' project. She is also an Associate Investigator in the Swinburne Univ
 ersity of Technology Node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Exc
 ellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. She is a Chief Investig
 ator on the Swedish/Australian collaboration 'Digital sexual health: Desig
 ning for safety\, pleasure and wellbeing in LGBTQ+ communities'. Kath's pa
 st projects investigated young people’s practices of digital self-represen
 tation\, and the role of user-generated media (including social networking
  platforms and dating apps) in young people’s formal and informal sexual l
 earning\, safety and wellbeing practices. Her recent co-authored books inc
 lude Everyday Data Cultures (with Jean Burgess\, Anthony McCosker and Rowa
 n Wilken\, Polity 2022) and Data for Social Good: Non-Profit Sector Data P
