Who is Gary Hall?
Gary Hall is Professor of Media and Performing Arts in the Coventry University Department of Media and Communication, UK.
Hall is a cultural and media theorist working on continental philosophy, cultural politics, cultural studies, new media technologies, and the digital humanities. In 2008 he authored 'Digitize This Book!: The Politics of New Media, or Why We Need Open Access Now'. Published by the University of Minnesota Press, it was the first book on open access publishing and archiving written specifically from a critical theory perspective.
Together with Clare Birchall, Joanna Zylinska and Open Humanities Press, Hall created the Jisc-funded project LivBL: Living Books about Life, a sustainable series of electronic open access books about life - with life understood both philosophically and biologically - providing a bridge between the humanities and the sciences.
In 1999, along with Dave Boothroyd, Hall founded the online, open access, peer-reviewed journal of cultural studies and cultural theory, Culture Machine. In 2006, together with Steve Green, he established the first open access archive for cultural and media studies research, CSeARCH, and in 2006, working with Sigi Jottkandt, David Ottina, and Paul Ashton, he founded Open Humanities Press in response to the perceived crisis in academic publishing.
