Professor in Digital Storytelling, Bournemouth University

I am a Professor in Digital Storytelling at Bournemouth University where I also co-head the Science, Health and Data Communications Research Centre. I am the author of Tear Gas (Verso Books 2017) and an author of Protest Camps (Zed/Bloomsbury 2013), Protest Camps in International Context (Policy Press 2017) and The Data Storytelling Workbook (Routledge 2020). I am currently working on a monograph for Verso about infertility and the IVF marketplace and publishing findings from my UKRI/AHRC COVID-19 Rapid Response research project that investigated the use of webcomics to share public health messages on social media. Details are available on our project website: https://www.covidcomics.org/

In addition to my academic publishing in peer review books and journals, I am an active science communicator and work regularly with journalists and producers around the world to share my research across a wide diversity of audiences. I am also a digital skills and data literacy trainer, designing resources and workshop delivery for academics, NGOs, health care professionals, journalists and community organisations.
