Beth Younger
Associate Professor of English & Women's and Gender Studies, Drake University
A Southern California native, I earned my undergraduate degree in English from Humboldt State University in Northern California. I then moved to the deep south where I completed my Ph.D. at Louisiana State University. My research interests focus on popular culture, young adult literature, feminist theory, and women's studies.
I have an ongoing obsession with horror films, which began when my brother forced me (at age 12) to watch George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Along with my love of zombies and powerful women in horror films, I am continually intrigued by the amorphous classification(s) of cultural productions as either "high" or "low" forms of art. Is it "literature" or "fiction" or a "trashy novel?" Interrogation of these troublesome labels is an ongoing preoccupation.

I am specifically interested in oxidative stress mechanisms and their importance following exposure to toxic substances. My research group is included in the environmental science focus area at the Dept of Biological and Environmental Sciences.
Other research projects in which I am involved address usage and spread of plastics in society and the environment, as well as consequences of exposure to plastics and associated chemicals.
• Weeding out the toxins from recycled plastics
• The plastic pollution challenge: a global social-ecological perspective
• Limnoplast
• Less Space for Plastic
RESEARCH CENTERS

I moved to this position after five years involved with the CODEC Centre for Digital Theology, St John’s College, Durham University. At CODEC, I researched discipleship in a digital age, drawing upon over 130 voices from ‘the pew, the pulpit and the academy’ on the website http://bigbible.org.uk. My work included highlighting to the church the importance of engaging with digital technologies. Previous roles in academia include ‘Senior Fellow in Technology Enhanced Learning’ alongside temporary lectureships, web editorial work, and research projects (including into web accessibility and usability) at the University of Winchester and Interdisciplinary Research Officer at the University of Manchester.
I have been Director of social media consultancy Digital Fingerprint since 2001, whose clients have included third sector organisations such as Girlguiding, The National Archives and NCVO (via another agency), Christian organisations including The Church of England, The Methodist Church, and United Reformed Church, publishers including Lion Hudson and CPO, universities including ‘Organisational Development in Higher Education Group’ and The University of Limerick, and a range of small businesses, including anti-diet cause ‘Beyond Chocolate’, and involvement in the social media startup Super Fun Days Out.

I have been on flagship shows such as The One Show (BBC One), Steve Wright in the Afternoon (BBC Radio 2) and BBC News, whilst local and specialist media frequently asks for comment or opinion pieces on aspects related to digital culture.

She has published several papers in academic journal on patient feedback platform, coopetition, open-innovation and artificial intelligence.
She completed her Ph.D on “Strategizing and Managing Coopetition”. Her Ph.D. highlighted one of the most successful coopetitive projects: a coopetitive project that generated 100 billion dollars. The interested stake of her research describes how competitors can share their core competitive advantage transparently and even teach each other how to become stronger. It is counter-intuitive and in contradiction with the traditional strategic approach of keeping secret firms’ core competitive advantage. Then, she did a post-doctoral research with Henry Chesbrough at Berkeley California University on open –coopetition.
Moreover, in addition to academic activities, she has given invited presentations in front of innovation directors and alliance managers from the Silicon Valley or French companies, and be in charge of fostering a collaborative environment between the academic and practitioner for Avery Dennison, Enel, Tech Mahindra.
