Craig Norris studied Communication and Media Studies at the University of South Australia and University of Western Sydney. His PhD thesis examined the role of Australian fan communities in localising Japanese popular culture (manga, anime, video games, cinema and cosplay). His latest publications have explored how movies, TV shows and comic books have been incorporated into tourism.
