[Bondy Kaye]

Dear colleagues,

The TikTok Cultures Research Network is pleased to announce our fifth
virtual event TikTok Books Roundtable on 16 May 2022 featuring the authors
of the first three academic books on TikTok.

TikTok has become one of the most widely used short video platforms around
the world and a key site of study for students, researchers, and scholars.
This event features a moderated discussion with the authors of the first
book-length investigations into TikTok. Trevor Boffone author of
“Renegades: Digital Dance Cultures from Dubsmash to TikTok” (2021); D.
Bondy Valdovinos Kaye, Jing Zeng, and Patrik Wikström authors of “TikTok:
Creativity and Culture in Short Video” (2022); and Crystal Abidin author of
“TikTok  and Youth Cultures” (2023).



This 1.5-hour virtual event will take place via Zoom on 16 May 2022 at
1500-1630 (GMT+8) and will feature a brief introduction of the three books,
a moderated panel discussion between the authors, and an audience Q&A. The
event will be moderated by Ms Daniela Jaramillo-Dent.

We invite professionals from media industries and social media industries,
students and researchers in academia, and members of the general public to
