This chapter explores the conditions for participation on social networking sites (SNS) for young women with immigrant background. SNS provide social arenas and potential communities. To shed light on the conditions for participation on SNS we employ three perspectives: from Paulo Freire, who has been central to community work; from danah boyd, who brings a media studies perspective; and Robert Putnam’s perspectives that have been vital in both disciplines. Understanding conditions for participation is crucial to community work and community development, as mobilisation of citizens is integral to their practice. In media studies, the understanding of SNS is that the framework for participation is a result of the intersection of people, technology and practice. We discuss how these perspectives bring out different aspects of conditions for participation on SNS and how they may enrich each other.
