Short CV Presentation

Lena Liapi studied at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens for her BA and MA and then went on to complete a PhD at the University of York (UK), on a Sophia Sharipoulou scholarship.

Before taking up the position of Assistant Professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, she taught at the University of York, the University of Aberdeen, Keele University, the University of Sheffield, and Leeds Beckett University

Her research interests lie in the cultures of communication, popular culture, print culture, representations of deviance, rhetoric, and material studies.

Her monograph focuses on the ways in which urban crime was represented in cheap print materials in early-modern London. It explores how cheap print was employed in order to discuss broader phenomena, such as urbanisation and the growth of the metropolis, popular understandings of justice and the culture of communication in early modern England.
