Biography
Julia Gillen is Director of the Literacy Research Centre and Senior Lecturer in Digital Literacies at Lancaster University, UK. She is co-editor of Virtual Literacies (Routledge, 2013).
‘In this beautifully written book, Julia Gillen offers the field of Linguistics a range of approaches to the study of writing and reading language online. Advanced and at the same time easy to follow I can strongly recommend this book to undergraduate and graduate students, colleagues, and everyone else who wants to understand more about how digital and online media interact with literacy and learning. Enjoy!’
