Spotlight Podcast - Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
Spotify Podcast
"Spotlight" - my SoTL podcast is becoming quite popular!
Please give it a listen, and a 5 star review would be very helpful too...
Some Disney Studies scholarship...
The Journal of American Culture
I wrote an article for the special edition of this journal which focussed on the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. My article was centred on the cultural impact and enduring appeal of Donald Duck comics.
The Conversation
I've written a few pieces for The Conversation, notably on the cultural impacts of The Lion King and Donald Duck - translated and syndicated into multiple languages and for multiple platforms.
International Journal of Disney Studies
I am a member of the Editorial Board of this brand new journal. I am involved in the blind peer review of articles, and have mentored and supported scholars on topics including comics, and legacy characters including Minnie Mouse,, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, and intellectual property including Disney Afternoon and Ducktales.
