Hinge or Cringe

How does one find romance in Melbourne? What are the current issues young people face? How should we deal with it? Let’s delve deep into Melbourne’s digital intimacy culture and learn how to take control of our dating experiences while facing the shifts in human connections.

This panel aims to explore and help us learn, understand, and navigate online dating and discuss the trend of matchmaking platforms. Acting as a cultural ‘remixing’ of romance, the experts in our panel will highlight how dating norms are influenced by media, societal expectations, and globalization, and also share ways users can ‘reboot’ connections online.

Guest Panellists include Dr Emily van der Nagel (Lecturer, School of Media, Film & Journalism, Monash University) and Alita Brydon (Creator, Bad Dates of Melbourne)

Moderator: Yobella Gabriel Warsito (Student, Master of Strategic Communications Management)
