S2-E1 Cam-Chat with Heather Roberts

We're back with a second season! This season we are inviting a series of surveillance expert guests to chat about their research, art, culture, technology, and politics. This week we are fortunate to chat with the lovely Heather Roberts, who tells us a bit more about found footage horror films. If you like "Paranormal Activity", "The Blair Witch Project" and horror flicks, this episode is right for you. What a perfect way to celebrate fall and the witchy season! Heather Roberts is a third-year PhD student in the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies program at Queen's University. She completed her Masters in English literature at Queen's and holds Honours degrees from both Queen's and University of Toronto. Her doctoral research explores the relationship between found footage horror films and the rise of social media culture in the mid- to late-2000s, particularly focusing on themes of surveillance. She likes stress baking, growing fruits and vegetables in her garden, and all things horror!
