Victoria Kenworthy

Victoria Kenworthy is a writer and researcher from Geelong, currently based in Melbourne. She recently completed a PhD at RMIT University’s School of Media & Communication, analysing how we can imagine fictional concepts from written words: in music, time, and Marcel Proust’s madeleine. She is interested in how technology and industry have influenced the way we live and remember our everyday lives over the last 150 years: from electric lights to atomic clocks, phonographs, telephones, radio and the internet; to the way in which tastes, sounds, smells, and textures define time and place. Victoria likes stories that are often lost in time – parts of history which leave small clues in the present day; told by people who just need someone to listen in a little closer.
