This book explores contemporary approaches to mobile storytelling, with contributions covering mobile education, news and screen storytelling, creative practice research, and the impact on vulnerable communities and social innovation. With 18 original chapters, Schleser and Xu bring together international media and communication scholars, digital storytellers, filmmakers, musicians, and educators to discuss the significant contributions made by mobile storytelling within academia, culture and society, resulting in a vibrant and interdisciplinary collection that will be a valuable resource to researchers across the arts, humanities and social sciences.

This edited collection is a result of the collaboration between Mobile Studies International (MSI) and the Mobile Innovation Network & Association (MINA) at the International Mobile Storytelling Congress (IMSC) at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China.
