Speaker Biography
Dr Nina Willment is an economic and cultural geographer with expertise in digital labour and work in the cultural and creative industries. She graduated with a PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London, where her thesis examined the working lives and workspaces of freelancers within the creative economy. She is currently working on a project which is exploring the geographies of virtual production, as part of her role with XR Stories.
