Thank you for visiting my research website. I’ve taken the step of creating it because quite often I receive requests from people who would like to read in full something that I have written – often, from a long time ago, and sometimes in quite obscure places. I have therefore tried to turn as much as possible of my old publications (excluding books) into readable PDFs. I will hopefully add some more in the coming months and years.
Here, then, you will find:
My Publications
A list, in date order, of all my publications – with links to associated PDFs wherever I have been able to get or create these.
My Story
A page telling the ‘story’ of my research, ordered under headings for the kinds of topic I have engaged with, across 40 years.
The other major achievement of my research has been the creation and development of the Journal Participations the online Journal of Audience and Reception Studies. This can be found at:
If you want to communicate with me about any of these, you are welcome to write to me at this email address: mib[at]aber.ac.uk (making the necessary @ substitution in the middle). I will do my best to reply fairly quickly.
