Author: Siobhan Lyons / Macquarie University

I am a media and cultural studies scholar based at Macquarie University, where I earned my PhD in 2017. My books include Death and the Machine: Intersections of Mortality and Robotics (Palgrave 2018) and Ruin Porn and the Obsession with Decay (Palgrave 2018). I have also been published in The Washington Post, The Conversation, New Philosopher, Philosophy Now, Overland, Meanjin, Continuum and Media International Australia among others. My research looks at the intersections of media culture, philosophy and popular culture.
