Jason Ensor’s publications have ranged across subjects as diverse as Armageddon, Australian literature, refugees, technology and print culture studies. Jason’s early work reflects the concerns of his Masters thesis which developed links between between religious conceptions of apocalypse and the secular fin-de-siecle in Australia, 2000. Though Jason has moved recently into the field of Australian literature for his PhD (using technology to ask new questions about the history of Australian publishing), he still holds an intense fascination with apocalyptic discourse and hopes to return to researching endtime thinking and consumption in contemporary Australia one day. His current work explores the application of quantitative methodologies to traditionally qualitative disciplines like literature. As the list of publications below might confirm, his research interests also include: Australian Studies (History, Culture, Literature), Computer Gaming and Virtual Worlds, New Empiricism and Book History, Web Technologies and Computer-Human Interaction, Consumption and Everyday Life, Screen and Media Culture, Eschatology, Apocalypse and Society, and the Politics of Fear.  He is also a regular contributor to the Postcolonial Literature Network of the Routledge Annotated Bibliography of English Studies and the Australian Literature twitter.
