The TikTok Cultures Research Network held its fifth virtual event TikTok Book Roundtable on 16 May 2022.

This event featured a moderated discussion with the authors of the first book-length investigations into TikTok.

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 took place via Zoom and featured a brief introduction of the three books, a moderated panel discussion between the authors, and an audience Q&A. The event was moderated by Ms Daniela Jaramillo-Dent with technical support from Dr. Jin Lee.
