Dear colleagues,
I’m delighted to share the news of the launch of my new co-authored book, Migrants, Television and Australian Stories: A New History, written with Kate Darian-Smith, Sue Turnbull, and Kyle Harvey, and published by Routledge in paperback. It will be launched by our very own Pearl Tan.
The first comprehensive Australian study of migrants and television, this book considers the ways multicultural audiences have experienced the small screen over seven decades. This new history takes us to digital screen production and consumption today, exploring how Australians of many diasporas engage with the global network of screen content in the twenty-first century. It is essential reading for media professionals, advocates, students and those interested in the intersections between media, cultural diversity and the nation.
‘An invaluable and insightful examination of how far we’ve come in showcasing our stories and communities, and a reminder of how far we’ve yet to go.’ – Benjamin Law, writer and broadcaster
