Will Stanford Abbiss
Will Stanford Abbiss recently graduated with a Ph.D. from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His research focuses on representations of nationhood in long-form television drama, including the status of public service television in the twenty-first century. His doctoral study established a post-heritage critical framework, through which British period drama productions from the 2010s were analysed. A monograph arising from this research, published as part of Routledge’s Advances in Television Studies series, is forthcoming. His future research will further consider international and contemporary-set productions, applying his findings on the depictions of cultural identity to a broader spectrum of television drama.
