TY - GEN AB - This book considers the impact of digital media and technology on lived experience for young people in foster care. While the extent and intricacies of foster careknown as out-of-home care (OOHC) in Australia, where this study takes placeare not widely understood by the general public, youth in care might struggle to construct a personal identity that goes beyond reflecting the stereotypes and stigma by which they are often recognised. In todays digital environment, media can play a significant role in any individuals developing sense of self, identity, and belonging. Deitz and Sheridan Burns examine OOHC through the lens of networked media environments and investigate the conditions that encourage belonging and resilience in order to establish the role that digital technology can play in supporting those conditions for individuals, family networks, and the care sector. .
