Notă biografică

Simon Popple is Senior Lecturer in Cinema and Director of Impact and innovation at the Institute of Communications Studies, the University of Leeds. He has had along interest in the use of archival sources as part historical memory and the role of popular culture in documenting, responding to and interpreting history. He is founder and editor of the journal Early Popular Visual Culture and has written on film and photographic history, archives and cinema. In 1984 Dr Ian W. Macdonald left the British Film Institute Library to become a researcher on entertainment series for London Weekend Television at their studios on the South Bank. The miners' strike left this leafy and pleasant part of London, not far from the City, untouched and quiet. However, when he left LWT seven years later, Cardboard City - young homeless people sleeping in large cartons - had sprung up in nearby Waterloo; more evidence of the human casualties of the rush towards monetarist policies. The Miners Strike and Cardboard City are now memories, but the casualties continue today, in the wake of the banking and other corporate scandals. Since 1991 Ian has worked for the North East Media Training Centre in Gateshead, and then as Head of the Northern Film School (1992-2001) and Reader in Media Practice and Head of Research at the School of Film, Television and Performing Arts, Leeds Metropolitan University. From 2006-2011 he was Research Director (later Director) of the Louis Le Prince Centre for Cinema, Photography and Television at the Institute of Communication Studies, University of Leeds. He specialises in teaching screen fiction at ICS. He has advised Skillset and HEFCE, and was Treasurer and Chair of the Association of Media Practice (later amalgamated with MeCCSA), serving on its Executive from 1999-2010. He was a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Media Practice from 2000-2010, and has been Co-Editor of the Journal of Screenwriting since its inception in 2010. In 2008 Ian co-founded, and is currently Coordinator of, the international Screenwriting Research Network (www.screenwritingresearchnetwork.com). He is Editor of the Palgrave Studies in Screenwriting book series, to be launched in 2013.
