Profile
Holly Turpin is a researcher interested in storytelling, co-creation, open research and digital media. She is currently a research associate working on working on Open Book Futures (OBF). OBF builds upon the work of the COPIM project (2019–2023) and aims to initiate a step-change in the ambition, scope and impact of community-led Open Access book publishing. Specifically, Loughborough University is part of Work Package 7 (WP7), Archiving and Preservation, which is developing guidance and easy to use tools to help scholar-led open access presses and library repositories to digitally preserve open access monographs and their associated content (e.g. video, audio files etc.) for long term access.
Previously she completed her PhD using immersive digital storytelling in homelessness contexts at Loughborough University as part of the HOME Centre for Doctoral Training (2021-2025), and has taught Digital Storytelling modules to undergraduate and postgraduate students in the School of Design and Creative Arts.
