About

Ben Menadue is an Adjunct research fellow at The Cairns Institute with particular interests in cultural history, pedagogy and transformative approaches to education and research design, and digital approaches to the narrowing of the perceived gap between arts and sciences in contemporary research. He was awarded his PhD at James Cook University cum laude in 2019 and took up a position as Academic Development Manager at the University of Suffolk in the UK in December 2019. He retains strong links to the JCU community, having spent 11 years working for the university across a range of project, research management and teaching positions and is happy to receive invitations to join advisory panels for postgraduate research as well as opportunities to collaborate in multidisciplinary research undertakings.

His primary source  for his digital humanities research into social and cultural factors is science fiction, science fiction audiences and the role science fiction plays in indicating contemporary and historical interests and expectations in human culture. This is reflected in social psychology, science communication and promotion and he has written articles on science and science fiction related topics for The Conversation and other news sites.
