Nadine Shanahan is a PhD student and Graduate Teaching Fellow at the University of Liverpool, affiliated with the School of Law and Social Justice and the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology. She holds an LLB Law, an MSc in Criminology, and a PGCE in Further Education, with prior teaching experience in Law, Criminology, and Criminal Justice at further and higher education levels. Her role involves undergraduate teaching across Sociology, Social Policy, and Criminology.
Nadine’s research examines how women construct and negotiate femininity via Instagram, focusing on intersections of age, race, class, and resistance to neoliberal ideals. Her work integrates post-feminist theory and critiques of digital capitalism. In 2024, she conducted research at the University of Georgia on girlhood trends and political-economic influences.
Her presentations include talks on gendered pressures in digital spaces and neoliberalism’s impact on identity, delivered at venues like the British Sociological Association and the European Sociological Association. Supervised by Prof. Susan Pickard, Dr. Terence Heng, and Dr. Andrew Kirton, her PhD thesis explores ideal femininity through digital ethnography.
