(2016) Augmenting author-activism: An examination of how a continuing primary text and digital media inform contemporary non-fiction author-activism. PhD by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Using a print magazine and associated digital media, this research focused on the intersection of existing writing practice, transmedia activism, and their interplay with old and new media. It identified and examined existing non-fiction author–activists' practices and considered innovative storytelling approaches that might enhance and extend contemporary author–activist practices to encourage social change.
