Rebecca Roach is a postdoctoral researcher on the ERC-funded project, 'Ego-Media: The Impact of New Media on Forms and Practices of Self-Presentation' (2014-2019) at King's College London. Her current project draws on theories of life writing, the public sphere, linguistics, information theory, and history of the book/material culture to explore representations of communication, collaboration and relational selfhood in literature in the era of computing. Prior to joining Kings, Rebecca completed her doctorate at Oxford University (2014). Her thesis, entitled "Transatlantic Conversations: The Art of the Interview in Britain and America," assessed the role of the interview form within Anglophone literature from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
