Jo Coghlan is an associate professor of sociology at the University of New England, Australia. Jo's research interests are in popular culture and material culture, in historical and contemporary contexts. Her research interests are varied and include food studies, film and television studies, and everyday culture. Jo has published in the Australasian Journal of Popular Culture, Clothing Cultures, Film, Fashion and Consumption, and Media/Culture Journal and contributed to books on female political leaders and how they are represented in popular culture. Jo, Lisa J. Hackett, and Huw Nolan are the founders of The Popular Culture Research Network (PopCRN), Australia's leading research network on popular culture and material studies, which brings together scholars and researchers who share a fascination in the academic inquiry into all manner of mass phenomena.
Lisa J. Hackett is a senior lecturer at the University of New England, Armidale, NSW. Lisa's research examines aviation, fashion, clothing, and uniform in popular culture through a sociological and historical lens to expose the ways popular culture objects define identity and social roles. Her PhD examined the ways that Australian women utilise 1950s style to fashion their identities. Lisa is the co-founder (along with Jo Coghlan and Huw Nolan) of PopCRN, the Popular Culture Research Network, which brings together scholars and researchers who share a fascination in the academic inquiry into all manner of mass phenomena. Her current research includes the study of the use of female Second World War pilot's uniforms in propaganda, the history of air pageants, and the British Royal Family in popular culture. She is on the editorial board of Popular Culture Review (Wiley) and is senior co-chief editor of the International Journal of Popular Culture Studies.
Huw Nolan is an animal welfare scientist and ethicist with a strong passion for science and its portrayal in popular culture. His research investigates the implications of human imagination, beliefs, and intuitions on the welfare of animals and the environment. He is committed to scrutinising the ethical dimensions of how non-human life is represented in popular media and its subsequent influence on societal attitudes and behaviors, combining his enthusiasm for science with a focus on its role in shaping public perceptions. Huw is a founding member of the Popular Culture Research Network (PopCRN) and is a senior co-editor of the International Journal of Popular Culture Studies.
