OverviewAI-generated summary

A. G. O. Whiteside's research investigates the intersection of media, communication, and cultural studies. Their work examines how social media platforms shape public discourse and collective memory, particularly in relation to fandoms and social movements. Recent publications explore the rhetoric of Taylor Swift fan communities, the portrayal of conspiracy genres in children's television with a focus on Disney's *Gravity Falls*, and the archiving of memorial images following the suicide of a trans teenager. Whiteside also analyzes the symbolic use of hashtags like #ReclaimTheRainbow in constructing narratives of conservative victimhood and critiques contemporary feminist discourse, specifically the concept of "bootstrap feminism."
