Infos

This edited collection brings together academics and practitioners to explore the uses of Digital Storytelling, which places the greatest possible emphasis on the voice of the storyteller. Case studies are used as a platform to investigate questions of concept, theory and practice, and to shine an interrogative light on this emergent form of participatory media. The collection examines the creative and academic roots of Digital Storytelling before drawing on a range of international examples to consider the way in which the practice has established itself and evolved in different settings across the world.

Mark Dunford is an academic and researcher who has held senior roles in a number of UK Universities including University of Brighton, Goldsmiths and University of East London where he was an Associate Dean in the School of Arts and Digital Industries.  

Tricia Jenkins is a researcher and digital storytelling facilitator who also works with Insightshare Participatory Video company and is a lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK. 

In 2008, Mark and Tricia established DigiTales, a research company specialising in Digital Storytelling and participatory media. The company is hosted by Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
