Sherryl Wilson’s research area is in television and she has explored both contemporary and historical programming. Her published work includes material that explores the presentation of selfhood on TV talks shows, the representation of older women in television drama, images of mental illness as social critique. Recent research includes work on a project entitled ‘No Such Thing as Society?’ (http://www.nosuch-research.co.uk/) that examines shifting notions of the public across a range of broadcast material during the 1980s under the Thatcher governments, and she is an active participant in the Women, Ageing and Media (WAM) research group. (http://insight.glos.ac.uk/researchmainpage/centres/wam/Pages/default.aspx) Future research will be into audiences’ social use of second screens while watching television and with particular being attention on the ways in which (if) older audiences engage with multi-platform viewing. Area of expertiseTV talk shows; television drama; television history; ageing and the media; mental illness and media represnetation.
