BIO
Sarah Maltby is Professor at Sussex University.
Sarah’s core academic interests centre upon the intersection of contemporary media, memory and identity in (post) war and conflict. Her work has also explored representations of war and peace in journalistic, artistic and military output, and the relationship between military practice and media including the role of (digital) media information in the implementation of security provision.
Her current research 'Salone Pis' (Krio for Sierra Leone Peace) is exploring the role of media in post war peace and reconciliation processes in Sierra Leone.
Sarah is the author of Remembering the Falklands War: Media, Memory and Identity (2016) and Military Media Management: Negotiating the Frontline (2012). She has also co-edited Spaces of War, War of Spaces (2020), Communicating War: Memory, Military and Media (2007) and is Co-Editor of the International Sage Journal Media, War and Conflict. She was the Curator and Organiser of the War and Body Exhibition (2010), held at Blackall Studios, London and was the Director and Producer of the short film ‘Unseen Enemy: War Stories in Public Places’ (2014) published on REFRAME.
Sarah is the Founder and Coordinator of the War and Media Network, an international and multi-disciplinary online resource and networking forum that aims to promote productive dialogue between academics and practitioners interested in the intersection between war and the media.
Before moving to Sussex in 2013, Sarah previously worked at City University as Lecturer in Sociology and Media.
