Professor Sue Thomas

Sue Thomas is Research Professor of New Media in the Institute of Creative Technologies. Her research interests include technobiophilia, internet history, transliteracy, transdisciplinarity, and social media innovation.  Her forthcoming book ‘Technobiophilia: Nature and Cyberspace’ (Bloomsbury Academic 2013) examines the relationship between cyberspace and the natural world.

Her books include ‘Hello World: travels in virtuality’ (Raw Nerve, 2004) called by critic Carolyn Guertin "a Baedeker to the cyber-realm"; the novel ‘Correspondence’, a cyborg pastoral short-listed for several prizes including the Arthur C Clarke Award (London: The Women's Press, 1992; New York: Overlook, 1993); ‘Water’, a Northern romance (New York: Overlook, 1994; UK: Five Leaves, 1995); ‘Creative Writing: A Handbook For Workshop Leaders’  (1995) and an edited anthology ‘Wild Women: Contemporary Short Stories By Women Celebrating Women’ (New York: Overlook, 1994; London: Vintage, 1994).  Until 2005 she was Artistic Director of the trAce Online Writing Centre (at Nottingham Trent University), which she founded in 1995, and where she produced and managed many successful digital writing projects, most notably ‘The Noon Quilt’ (1998) now an iconic image of the early days of the web.  More recently she worked with Penguin Books and Kate Pullinger on the groundbreaking experimental wikinovel ‘A Million Penguins’.

Her work on transliteracy http://www.transliteracy.com  -  ‘the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks’ -  is being developed by a number of researchers worldwide and having an increasing impact in the e-learning and information science communities. 

She also undertakes community-based social media projects.  Most recently she has worked with Dr Thilo Boeck and Dr Jennie Fleming of the Centre for Social Action on the ‘Amplified Resilient Community’ research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.  In 2009-10 she devised and directed Amplified Leicester, a city-wide experiment in social media funded by NESTA.  She managed the NLab Network of small business innovators from 2005-11 and chairs the DMU Connected Communities Grand Challenge Programme.  In 2011 she helped set up the DMU Transdisciplinary Common Room http://www.transdisciplinarydmu.blogspot.com  in partnership with the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) and the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP).  She has organised numerous events, colloquia, seminars, unconferences and workshops including the Women, Business and Blogging Conference (2007); the Creative Social Networks Conference (2008), an international Transliteracy Conference (2009), along with the Amplified Leicester Showcase and Vision2020 events of 2010.  In 2012 she organised over 30 seminars and workshops in the DMU Transdisciplinary Common Room.

She regularly advises the print and broadcast media and has appeared in a number of radio and TV programmes.  In 2010 she gave the Leicester Mercury Media Lecture at The Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society, entitled  ‘Journalists Who Tweet’ and in 2011 she was featured in several interviews on digital scholarship for the British Library video series ‘Growing Knowledge: The evolution of research’ http://www.growingknowledge.bl.uk/ 

She is a Literary Advisor to the British Council and a member of several editorial and advisory boards including Convergence, an International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies; the US-based Electronic Literature Organization; Scan Journal of Media Arts and Culture, Macquarie University; the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture, Virginia Tech; the Creativity and Cognition Studios at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.

• Transliteracy
• Transdisciplinarity
• Technobiophilia
• Internet history
