Research Assistance for ‘Writing Technologies’ Online Journal.
Supervisors: Dr Philip Leonard, Dr Daniel Cordle (English)

At the time of the project Writing Technologies (ISSN 1754-9035) was a new, peer-reviewed international journal, hosted at NTU, with an Editorial Board drawn from experts in the field from several continents. The student helped both to build the journal’s external-facing content and to build connections between it and the English undergraduate curriculum at NTU. The project provided an opportunity for the bursary student to work on a proper academic journal, to make contacts with scholars researching in burgeoning fields (the literary and cultural representation of technology; the changing status of the literary in the light of new modes of writing and dissemination), and also to make a real working difference to the publication.
