Biography

Katja Lee is a Lecturer in Media Communication and the Course Coordinator for the Master of Strategic Communication program at the University of Western Australia. Her research explores how people represent life stories through media, particularly focusing on serialized magazine articles from the early twentieth century and the memoir boom of the late twentieth century. She is particularly interested in the cultural and technological conditions that shape how women publicize their stories. Katja has published extensively on fame, image management, and life writing, including her monograph 'Limelight' (2020), which charts the rise of celebrity autobiography in the twentieth century and was shortlisted for the Gabrielle Roy Prize. She also serves as the Managing Editor of 'Persona Studies' and is currently investigating the life stories of women in Australia’s mining resources sector. Katja welcomes inquiries for postgraduate supervision in key research areas including women’s fame, life writing media, and the strategies that impact women in mining resources.
