Dr Caitriona Noonan is lecturer in Media and Communication in the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies (JOMEC). She is an active researcher in the areas of television production, creative labour and cultural policy.
Her articles appear in journals such as the International Journal of Cultural Policy, Cultural Trends, and the European Journal of Cultural Studies. She co-edited a book on Cultural Work and Higher Education in 2013 and is due to publish another book in 2018 on television drama production.
In 2015 she was part of a successful bid to the AHRC Research Networking Scheme. The Television from Small Nations network will run from August 2015 to the end of July 2016 and it is a collaboration Dr Noonan, Dr Ruth McElroy (University of South Wales) and Dr Anne Marit Waade (Aarhus University), together with industry partners: the European Broadcasting Union, Royal Television Society (Wales), S4C (Wales) and TG4 (Ireland). The network aims to draw together TV professionals and academics from a range of disciplines to address the specific challenges and opportunities facing broadcasters and producers in small nations.
She is also researching the production of arts television both in the UK and overseas. To date she has interviewed senior executives and producers at the BBC, Channel 4, Sky Arts, and RTE, along with independent producers and arts organizations. This research will be published in the coming months.
Caitriona serves on the steering group of the Centre for the Study of Media and Culture in Small Nations, sits on the editorial board of the Media Education Research Journal and is part of an interdisciplinary research group with colleagues in the business school on Creative Labour and Cultural Production.
