[Air-L] 'Digital Storytelling: An Introduction' Book Publication Announcement

[Leah Henrickson]

Just dropping in to let you all know that my latest book is now out (in the UK - Americans and e-book readers will need to wait until November)! 🎉

Digital Storytelling: An Introduction is my effort to historicise and expand the field. It's a textbook that teachers can build upon for their own digital storytelling and media courses, but it's also a reflection on the world's chaos and the meanings we make from it.

Professor Hanna Meretoja has called the book 'a lucid guide to what is at stake when we engage in and with digital storytelling. It offers valuable critical tools, and its historically informed and intellectually rigorous yet accessible approach is much needed.'

Professor Jay David Bolter has said that the book 'brings to bear a wide range of work from media studies to the cognitive and social sciences to develop [a] framework for creative expression in the medium of the digital. This concise and readable text is sure to be an indispensable resource for beginning and advanced students as well as creative practitioners.'

Whether you're a student, teacher, researcher, or lifelong learner, I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
