*Edited version; see full conference paper here: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/85139/
This paper introduces research in progress that examines how queer women perform sexual identity across social media platforms. Applying a lens of queer theory and Actor Network Theory, it discusses women’s embodied self-representations as taking on forms that both conform to and elaborate upon the selfie genre of digital representation. Acknowledging similarities and differences across platforms, specifically between Instagram and Vine, a novel walkthrough method is introduced to identify platform characteristics that shape identity performances. This method provides insights into the role of platforms in identity performances, which can be combined with analysis of user-generated content and interviews to better understand digital media’s constraints and affordances for queer representation.

Abstract
This paper focuses on images of sexual desire that shape digital intimate publics of same-sex attracted women through related hashtags on social media platforms. While previous research has focused on same-sex attracted men’s use of digital technology to perform sexuality, studies of same-sex attracted women are sparse, focused on older technologies, and complicated by debates around gendered power relations. This is investigated by examining sexual content organised through hashtags related to same-sex attracted women (e.g., #lesbian, #gaygirl) on Instagram and Vine. Textual and visual analysis of user-generated content is paired with walkthroughs interrogating these platforms’ design, activity flows and features, identifying mediators that shape performances of sexual desire. Preliminary analysis shows that performances on Instagram can be divided into four categories: pornography and advertisements; memes, animations, and popular media; images of idealised ‘lesbians’; and personal selfies and sexy photos. On Vine, popular media and idealised lesbians are represented in fan mash-ups of YouTube celebrities while the majority of sexual performances involve sensual lip dubs and dancing to rap and hip hop music. Each platform provides unique affordances for these performances, such as Instagram’s filters and Vine’s audio track tools, as well as shared affordances like co-hashtags. Further analysis will allow for a better understanding of these multiple components of performances of sexual desire, presenting a view of Instagram and Vine’s digital intimate publics relating to same-sex attracted women.
Ways to stay connected: Harnessing, managing, and preventing context collapse...Stefanie Duguay
Social media sites, such as Facebook, present the potential for people to organise connections with acquaintances from all walks of life within a single site. This can lead to context collapse, a flattening of the boundaries that generally separate audiences for self-expression. Drawing on literature about young people’s social media use and my research with LGBTQ early adults, I will discuss how context collapse is experienced as an event through which individuals can intentionally redefine themselves across audiences or manage identity expressions received by unintended audiences. Possible strategies for reinstating contexts on social media will also be explored in this presentation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
