Professor Jennifer Rowsell (Respondent)

Professor of Digital Literacy

the School of Education, University of Sheffield

She is an interdisciplinary researcher, who started out her scholarly career studying literacy from an ethnographic-multimodal lens that continues today. She investigates the ways that people engage in literacy practices across all aspects of their lives.

For over a decade, she has focused more on digital literacy and most recently, on the notion of the post-digital. At the heart of her work is an enduring curiosity and passion for people’s stories about their lived literacy practices.
