Who's Who in Research: Cultural Studies

Description

Increasingly, academic communities transcend national boundaries. 'Collaboration between researchers across space is clearly increasing, as well as being increasingly sought after,' noted the online magazine Inside Higher Ed in a recent article about research in the social sciences and humanities. Even for those scholars who don’t work directly with international colleagues, staying up-to-date and relevant requires keeping up with international currents of thought in one’s field. But when one’s colleagues span the globe, it’s not always easy to keep track of who’s who – or what kind of research they’re conducting. That’s where Intellect’s new series comes in. A set of worldwide guides to leading academics – and their work – across the arts and humanities, Who’s Who in Research features comprehensive profiles of scholars in the areas of cultural studies, film studies, media studies, performing arts and visual arts.

 

Who's Who in Research: Visual Arts includes concise yet detailed listings include each academic’s name, institution, biography, and current research interests, as well as bibliographic information and a list of articles published in Intellect journals. The volumes in the Who’s Who in Research series will be updated each year, providing the most current information on the foremost thinkers in academia and making them an invaluable resource for scholars, hiring committees, academic libraries and would-be collaborators across the arts and humanities.

Increasingly, academic communities transcend national boundaries and collaboration between researchers is becoming more and more common. Staying up to date and relevant requires keeping abreast of the international currents of thought in one’s field. But when one’s colleagues span the globe, it is not always easy to know who’s who – or what kind of research they are conducting.
Intellect’s Who’s Who in Research series was designed with the intention of increasing the scholarly community’s self-knowledge and facilitating it to come together and to collaborate. As Intellect has grown as a publisher specializing in the creative arts and popular culture, so, necessarily, has its community of authors. This book series opens up a door to this thriving scholarly community by providing an easy, ‘one-stop-shop’ access to the names and research interests of the leading academics who have published in Intellect’s growing portfolio of journals.
We have split the book series into five volumes, each covering one of Intellect’s main subject areas. This volume features comprehensive profiles of scholars in the area of cultural studies. Concise yet detailed listings include each academic’s name, institution, a short biography, current research interests and a list of their articles published with Intellect.
Another important feature of this volume is an innovative and user-friendly index, based on the keywords that scholars have used in their articles. By combining the keywords chosen by a community of scholars focused on a specific topic, we hope to offer a taxonomy of keywords for the subject area as a whole, as well as provide a useful method for discovering the people writing on a particular topic, and where that work can be found.
We believe these volumes will be an invaluable resource for scholars, hiring committees, libraries, and would-be collaborators across the arts and humanities.
