current phd students

all my current phd students are based at CEMP - the centre for excellence in media practice at bournemouth university - where I hold the chair on new media environments - they are fab, and I am very lucky to have them - I enjoy chatting with them all so much...

the CEMP website is a better place to explore the context of all our work, but this is one-stop quick link to their work - which I am enjoying hugely, we have a terrific team there
