Latest Publications on Persona and Celebrity

Samita Nandy

Dear Readers,

I am pleased to announce that my latest chapter on persona, celebrity activism, and selfies has been published in the edited book Mobile and Digital Communication: Approaches to Public and Private. The chapter shows how we can strengthen the use of selfies and other representations of persona in celebrity activism.
