    Research overview

    Tim Markham is a media sociologist with interests cutting across journalism, politics and philosophy. His latest聽book Digital Life (Polity 2020)聽contends that what it means to live ethically and politically is realised聽through and聽not in spite of our messy, compromised experience of the digital.

Together with FMACS colleague Scott Rodgers he has also co-edited a book on phenomenological perspectives on media.
