Acknowledgements

The project Representing Communities: Discourse and Contexts emerged from the organisation of the annual MeCCSA conference that was held on 6–8 January 2016 at Canterbury Christ Church University (Canterbury, UK). I am grateful to Felicity Plester for her interest in the proposal, and to Martina O’Sullivan for her ongoing support and patience throughout the completion of the book. I would like to thank all the authors for contributing to this volume, and my colleagues in the School of Media, Art and Design at Canterbury Christ Church University for their continued encouragement and support. In particular, I am grateful to my fellow conference organisers: Julia Bennett, Andrew Butler, Agnes Gulyas, Sarah O’Hara and Tim Long, for making such a fantastic conference team. Stuart Price provided valuable academic advice and encouragement. I am deeply indebted to Carmen Barragán and Jill Mason, whose friendships have been particularly important in the last few months and have taken me through the final stages of putting this book together. To Donald I owe his unconditional
