Biography

Dr Maura Edmond's research addresses changes and challenges in the contemporary media, arts and cultural industries, with a focus on digital transformation, policy and gender. She is interested in how creative media and cultural sectors adapt to digital transformations (in particular platformisation), and she has examined visual art, popular music, podcasting, radio, fashion, film and fandom from this perspective. Dr Edmond is also interested in understanding how we can better ensure robust and inclusive media and cultural sectors, taking into account technological, sociological and policy factors.

Dr Edmond's work has been published in outlets such as New Media and Society, Television and New Media, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music Policy (2021), Toward Gender Equality in the Music Industry: Education, Activism and Practice (Bloomsbury 2019) and The Routledge Handbook of Global Cultural Policy (2018).
