BIO

Dr. Storer’s scholarship focuses on structural approaches to promote resilience and well-being among socially underrepresented youth at high risk for harm and coercive control in digital spaces. Dr. Storer investigates the processes by which digital technologies and the media influence adolescent abuse survivors’ decision-making, meaning-making, and healthy adaptation and development. She is particularly interested in partnering with youth to rewrite harmful narratives and center stories of strength and resistance.
