Series description

Published in partnership with Progressive Connexions.

 

Emerald Interdisciplinary Connexions promotes innovative research and encourages exemplary interdisciplinary practice, thinking and living. Books in the series focus on developing dialogues between disciplines and among disciplines, professions, practices and vocations in which the interaction of chapters and authors is of paramount importance. They bring cognate topics and ideas into orbit with each other whilst simultaneously alerting readers to new questions, issues and problems. The series encourages interdisciplinary interaction and knowledge sharing and, to this end, promotes imaginative collaborative projects which foster inclusive pathways to global understandings.

Rob Fisher has been involved in creating innovative interdisciplinary programmes for over 30 years. A former Head of Philosophy and Course Leader for Theology at Westminster College, Oxford, Rob walked away from formal academia in order to concentrate on developing creative new possibilities for interdisciplinary work which increasingly encroaching business models were stifling in higher education.

Teresa Cutler-Broyles is an independent researcher and writes both fiction and non-fiction. In truly interdisciplinary form, Teresa’s research interests include popular culture (specifically television and film), science fiction, vampires and other creatures of the night, monsters, circuses and other liminal spaces, performance, sexuality and gender studies, architecture, the history of garden design, travel, wine and more.

Abby Bentham is Lecturer in English and Theatre at the University of Salford, UK. She teaches on crime fiction, contemporary women’s writing, adaptation, the female gothic, critical theory, performance studies, and more. Her research interrogates representations of aberrant psychology and crime on stage, page, and screen, with a particular focus on the creative techniques that encourage empathetic identification with challenging and transgressive figures. Abby’s broader research interests include evil, gender, true crime, psychoanalysis, the aesthetics of violence, and popular culture.
