Who''s Who in Research: Film Studies

Increasingly, academic communities transcend national boundaries. 'Collaboration between researchers across space is clearly increasing, as well as being increasingly sought after,' noted the online magazine Inside Higher Ed in a recent article about research in the social sciences and humanities. Even for those scholars who dont work directly with international colleagues, staying up-to-date and relevant requires keeping up with international currents of thought in ones field. But when ones colleagues span the globe, its not always easy to keep track of whos who or what kind of research theyre conducting. Thats where Intellects new series comes in. A set of worldwide guides to leading academics and their work across the arts and humanities, Whos Who in Research features comprehensive profiles of scholars in the areas of cultural studies, film studies, media studies, performing arts and visual arts.   Who's Who in Research: Visual Arts includes concise yet detailed listings include each academics name, institution, biography, and current research interests, as well as bibliographic information and a list of articles published in Intellect journals. The volumes in the Whos Who in Research series will be updated each year, providing the most current information on the foremost thinkers in academia and making them an invaluable resource for scholars, hiring committees, academic libraries and would-be collaborators across the arts and humanities.
