Dr Natalie Collie

Nat has a scholarly background in literature, creative writing, and media & culture studies. Her teaching into UQ's communication and professional writing programs also draws on many years of experience as a professional editor of academic and business writing.

Nat's research is focused on questions of creative expression, identity, media technologies, and the urban imaginary. This cluster of interests has led to a range of interrelated projects eg the impact of social media on everyday forms of creativity and public space; the role creative writing and speculative fiction can play in human flourishing and community wellbeing projects; the impact of digital technologies on intimacy; the gendered nature of our experiences of urban space and culture.
