Media Studies

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: Media Studies” 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.
