<div style="" align="justify"><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black">Professor Marshall, a research professor and holding a personal chair in new media, communication and cultural studies at Deakin University, has published widely in two areas:
the public personality/celebrity and new media culture. His books include</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em> Companion to Celebrity</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (December 2015),
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Celebrity and Power</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (1997; second edition, 2014),
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Fame Games</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (2000),
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Web Theory</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (2003),
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>New Media Cultures</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (2004), and
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>The Celebrity Culture Reader</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (2006)</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div style="" align="justify"><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black">His current writing and research has focused on some key areas in contemporary popular culture: he has been developing the idea of ‘persona studies’, where the presentation
of the public self has expanded well beyond celebrity culture via particularly online forms: it now structures and patterns reputation and value across many professions and through many recreational and leisure pursuits. He has developed three related concepts
to help explore this change in contemporary culture: presentational media, the intercommunication industry, and the personalization complex. Forthcoming books include:
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Promotional Vistas</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (Palgrave, 2016),
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Contemporary Publics</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (2016), and
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Persona Studies: Celebrity, Identity and the transformation of the public self
</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black">(Palgrave), and
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Persona in formation</em></font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"> (Minnesota, Forerunner Series, 2016). He is also the founder of the
</font><font face="Arial,helvetica,sans-serif" color="black"><em>Persona Studies </em>
