Biography
Emma Maguire is a Lecturer in English and Creative Writing. She is currently researching women's transmedia narratives of youth sexual trauma after #MeToo.
Emma has a BA (Hons) in English Literature from Flinders University (2011), and a PhD in English Literature, also from Flinders University (2016). She is an award winning teacher of English and Creative Writing, and she was the recipient of the Vice Chancellor’s Award for Doctoral Thesis Excellence for her PhD thesis, Automedial Girlhoods: Reading Girls’ Autobiographical Practice in Digital Contexts.
Her book Girls, Autobiography, Media: Gender and Self-Mediation in Digital Economies (2018, Palgrave Macmillan) investigates autobiographical strategies employed by girls and young women in contemporary digital media, and it considers how such self-representations of youthful femininity are received and critiqued.
She is an organising member of the Life Narrative Lab and a steering committee member for the International Auto/Biography Association Asia-Pacific Chapter. Emma is a Digital Content Editor for a/b: Auto/Biography Studies.
