(She/her)
ARC DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer in English, Australian National University

Millicent is an ARC DECRA Fellow researching Audiobooks and Digital Book Culture, and Senior Lecturer in English at the Australian National University. She researches how people engage with books and literary culture: everything from prizes and book reviews, to audience experience at literary festivals, to social media trolling of authors, to amateur production of audiobooks, podcasts, and fan-fiction. She has a particular interest in the role technology plays in how books are written, published and read. She has also worked as an archivist at the University of Melbourne Archives and the National Library of Australia.
