Marilyn Mitchell

I have pursued a career in both academia and industry. I have lectured in communication at Southern Connecticut State University, KVB Institute of Technology, and Sydney Institute of Technology. I have previously worked as an instructional writer, marketing representative, and training manager in the information technology, environment, and building industries, and am interested in how organisation members and stakeholders communicate to achieve their goals.

My research has explored the development of information graphics as a visual language, theory and practice of communication training, organizational communication, and intercultural communication.

I am currently researching illness blogs to examine how they aid both readers and writers. 

I am able to supervise many topics within the field of communication and welcome expressions of interest from motivated PhD and Masters by Research candidates.

I have supported my research students in successfully publishing their work, and have previously co-supervised a PhD thesis on the culture of photojournalists.
