Please join us in welcoming Professor Gillian Youngs.
Professor Youngs was the first woman in the UK to be appointed as a Professor of Digital Economy in 2010, with more than 20 years of experience with a leadership background in design, media, entrepreneurial business and higher education and her international experience and project work in Europe, the USA, Africa and East Asia, provides her with cross-cultural perspectives, which inform all aspects of her work.
Gillian has published widely in her areas of expertise and co-edited one of the first critical editions on globalization published in three editions – Globalization: Theory and Practice, Continuum, 1996, 2003, 2008. In addition, she edited Political Economy, Power, and the Body: Global Perspectives, Macmillan, 2000, and Digital World: Connectivity, Creativity and Rights, Routledge, 2013 (agreed for translation into Arabic). Her second monograph, Global Political Economy in the Information Age, was published by Routledge in 2007. She was a founding co-editor of the International Feminist Journal of Politics in 1999 and continues to serve on its International Advisory Council.
We’re excited to see her apply her creative industries experience and first-class education to help grow our research network and Knowledge Exchange.
