Samantha Rayner
I joined UCL’s DIS and the Centre for Publishing in
August 2012 as a Senior Lecturer, having previously worked at Anglia
Ruskin University as Director of the Cultures of the Digital Economy
Research Institute (CoDE) and leader of the MA
Publishing course in Cambridge.
I teach and write on publishing and book related
topics, with special interests in publishing archives and publishing
paratexts, bibliography, the culture of bookselling, editors and
editing, bibliotherapy, literary festivals and literary
ephemera. I have also taught extensively on English Literature courses
and have specialisms in Medieval and Arthurian texts.
I enjoy collaborative and interdisciplinary project work, including knowledge transfer activities. As well as being the Research Officer for the Association of Publishing Education (APE) I am a member of the AHRC Peer Review Panel, and co-editor for the new Intellect journal, 'Book 2.0'.
I am interested in proposals from potential PhD students wishing to undertake postgraduate studies in Publishing or Book-Related Studies, and am happy to discuss any research proposals prior to application. Please email me at s.rayner@ucl.ac.uk if you would like to discuss your future research career with the Centre for Publishing.
