Biography
Elizabeth Jane Evans is lecturer in Film and Television Studies in the Department of Culture, Film and Media at the University of Nottingham. She has previously published in Media, Culture and Society and Participations.
'Elizabeth Evans differentiates her well-researched and lucid study through her core focus on audience response, specifically the extent to which British viewers of the mid-2000s were willing to integrate transmedia gaming, mobile television, and downloaded episodes into their everyday engagement with television content...With such a capable foundation already established in this book, other scholars will no doubt answer Evans's call for more in-the-moment-of-change reception studies.' Jennifer Gillan, Cinema Journal
